Open carry is absolutely needed. I and other concealed carriers do not want to be one wardrobe malfunction away from a felony--the situation they are constantly in in many states. Cover garment in place? Legal! Gust of wind? Brandishing! Printing slightly through your two shirts? Open carry!
Also, why would you want to open carry in your 'bad part of town'? To deliberately lose the element of surprise? So they clearly could see if your gun looked worth enough to shooting you and taking it?
