I know open carry is legal in most states, it is in mine. I would just rather make it a standard instead of concealed carry.
In your weak widow case, a criminal is probably going to accost her if she does not have a gun on her hip anyways. 99% of criminals aren't going to think she has a gun in her purse, and they probably wouldn't think she could use it if she did. Making her open carry instead of concealed carry takes away the suspense, and if other people around her are carrying openly also, the criminal is going to want no part of that situation.
Mainly though, I just want to see who has a firearm and who doesn't, so I can make a judgment of being in their vicinity or not.
