If you have a gun in your house, in a drawer, then you can protect your family. If you're walking down the street and get mugged (which is basically unheard of in Wisconsin), who's to say a conceiled weapojn will work better than one that's out in the open? If guns are supposed to be a deterrant, then they should be out in the open, so as to deter. Concealied weapons are used for one thing, shooting someone who doesn't know you have a gun.

Concealed weapons have two advantages over open carry. Open carry tends to alarm anti gun people. Many is the time in open carry states that the police have been called about 'man with a gun', usually embellished with 'waving it around'. So concealing the weapon removes the 'alarm' factor from those that seem to be afraid of them while making those who wish to prey upon others consider whether they should risk attacking someone who may be armed.
