another 2 cents worth: CC is all ways better IMO

in your words the crack head avoids you because your open carry..... but your gun is of value to dirt bags .so you could become a target for a coming from behind bum-rush sneak attack and get your gun taken .OR . seen any of those "knock out game videos" 1 punch KO. dude is walking down the sidewalk a group of kids walking towards him joking around & bs-ing and BLAM out cold. no warning just a sucker punch ....  you wake up your guns gone ..

or

your at a gas station walk up to the counter to pay for your gas and a soda . you say Hi to the clerk this and pump #3 you say ...pull  out your wallet to pay. another dude walks up to rob the place ... see's your gun shoots you in the back takes the stores money plus your gun and wallet. you never even seen who shoots you....

don't think for a second your firearm is a deterrent to Evil Doers..

best to not show it ..

It's not always better. Each has advantages over the other.

I open carry more than any other way. I am outside of the concentrated liberal zones, though.

A few weeks ago I ate at Omaha Cheddars and a fellow was open carrying with his family. My daughter said he has a gun. I said that's great! She smiled.  I wasn't armed because we had to attend church. Whoever you were, I'm glad you open carry in the city.

Mntnman:
It's really unusual for open carriers to be targeted, but it does happen. I believe the risk to be negligible, especially when proper situational awareness is practiced.

In my experience most people don't even see an arm being open carried.

I'm going to open carry from my car to the gun ranger and from gun range back to my car, that's about it.   During the drives to and from it will be locked in a case, locked in the trunk. I don't have a conceal carry permit so I won't be doing that. Besides  I don't think my new 4 inch barrel revolver, which is my first gun, is easily concealed.
