You're missing the point. Having a firearm openly carried is actually worse than appearing to have nothing, whether that be the truth or not. An openly carried firearm simply makes you a target for being robbed of both your money and your firearm simply by dint of the concept that it is quicker to act than to react. If I'm a armed robbery suspect I'll gladly rob an open carrier of both their money and their firearm. Again, having a gun at your hip is useless when I have a gun in your face. My, as a criminal, not knowing, or even expecting you have a gun at all is the only useful outcome of carrying a firearm.
