It seems to me that a visable weapon would deter would-be attackers more than a hidden one.

That logic is flawed. The reason that concealing a weapon is a deterrant is because a criminal doesn't know if a potential victim is carrying or not. Therefore, people who are not carrying "could be" doing so. If everyone who had a permit were to wear their gun on their hip it would 1) easily show criminals who are and are not easy victims, and 2) make those who carry more likely victims of gun theft.
