I suspect what will finally fix this problem will be when the Court recognizes that open carry is a right–or at least hints that states that don’t provide some relatively easy way for law-abiding citizens to carry concealed is going to have to allow open carry.
That’s exactly what the WI Supreme Court did, in light of their recently-added right to bear arms. I forget the case (you undoubtedly know about it) but the Court basically said, since now we have a constitutional right to bear arms, there has to be some effective way for citizens to do so–ergo if concealed carry is banned by statute then open carry must be presumed to be legal.
This hasn’t stopped the Police Chief of Milwaukee from threating to act violently against peacable open carries, but then again he’s a big-city chief of police, so what would you expect?
