If they carry on doing this you'll have a bullshit situation like England where the state has a total monopoly on power and everyone else is just a potential victim.

See New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, California.
And the reason they get away with it is because these States are inhabited by large numbers of morons who think this is a good idea, leftist cloud-kuckoo-landers who think Essex or Oldham at 2am is a perfect model for American cities (chavs and all), career criminals who dislike the notion of armed victims, and politicians with electoral ties to all three of the previous groups.

One-kind-of-fail'd! Open carry is for people who dislike concealment, who want to spread the word about 2nd Amendment activism, who want to educate others, who carry large revolvers in bear/cat country, who prefer to exercise their individual sovereignty and individual rights in a public way, who enjoy annoying overweening hoplophobes and leftist busybodies, or who simply prefer to be able to access their weapon more quickly without having to get clothes out of the way. It's also a -wonderful- deterrent in a town full of illegal Mexican and Salvadoran gangbangers: they clear out of the way when my Mom walks into a resteraunt or grocery rockin' the Five-seven.
