So your answer is, "there really isn't a good reason except people want to." Which is fine. And if the general public decides to be offended by that and cause hassle by reporting those individuals who insist on it as a nuisance, I'm fine with that too.
I got my CPL many many years ago because whether or not I'm carrying is my business, not anyone else's...unless they are attempting to inflict fatal harm on me and mine. Then I'd like for them to be unpleasantly surprised.
Plus of the people I've met that insist on open carry, 100% of them have been jackasses. That doesn't mean all are, just the sample group of 40 I've met over the years.
actually he gives many other reasons besides the one you listed. easier access, comfort, improved draw, these are all things that the standard CCW'er achieves to have. the only difference is open display of the self-defense tool. Constitutional rights are meant to be exercised and explored. ALL of them circumstances willing.
and I like OC'ing but only because I like to take my jacket off on occasion and hate IWB large pistols. 90% of the time, I just CCW but other 10% I do both.
