A law stating that firearms cannot be carried openly doesn't violate the Second Amendment. That's all that needs to be said on the Constitutional issue.

Does a law that limits political punditry to certain hours of the day violate the first amendment?
Also, why are you so determined to defeat the main purpose of a firearm? People openly bear them because they want violence to be the penultimate answer to resolution of a conflict, ensuring that the very last is injury or death to their persons. That's how self-defense works.

Burden of proof exists in both fields.
Clearly you haven't thought out the implications of your argument. Should a law banning purple shirts with green pants pass because there's no necessity for that particular ensemble?
You are proposing a law. Give me constitutional validation for it.

I reject your comment about pickpockets. You clearly have never been to a busy marketplace or mall. The whole point of being a pickpocket is to not be noticed. Regardless, if you shoot a pickpocket you are guilty of murder.

If I holster a gun next to the front pocket where I happen to keep my wallet, I seriously doubt that any attempts to pick it will succeed without first noticing the gun. Whatever line you have to cross to pickpocket someone with a gun readily hostered, I'm willing to bet that it is far past the one you have to cross to pickpocket an unstrapped streetwalker.

How many burglars do you know that have volunteered to body cavity searches?

The OC of a gun disturbs "the peace" of wherever the person may be.

Legality has nothing to do with it. The highest authority is the constitution, regardless of the apparent lack of respect it seems to be getting.
You don't have a right to peace. You don't have a right to not be afraid.
