Of 'hogs legs and open zippers', I'll stay away from that line of thought...........
As to the OP, based on the words of the 2nd Amendment, I feel that if one is free of recorded felonious conviction, one should be able to exercise ones choice of carry modes, anywhere, from coast-to-coast in this country as one sees fit.
If given the free choice between the two, I choose concealed.
As permitted in my home state (with license, of course) I have the option to OC or CC, and still choose to conceal, and have for over 20 years.
