Concealed carry is generally mandated to avoid Frightening or Intimidating the unarmed.
At one time, the only people who carried their weapons concealed were criminals, which was the initial reason behind laws banning concealed carry, then somehow people deicded that carrying in the open was a disturbance of the peace and banned that too.

You can carry it concealed or in plain view if there are no laws against it .*>> The 2nd Amendment never said you had to have a permit & pay fees to have the right to keep & bear arms.* The politicians & all forms of Government have violated the 2nd Amendment by ignoring that fact & we let them get away with it.*

It does not have to be concealed. It is called a conceal and carry weapon because it CAN be concealed.

Not many states allow open carry of firearms. a CCW allows the user to carry a firearm concealed. Open carry is illegal in many of our states.

In Texas where I live, if anyone sees your pistol without you deliberately drawing it to use, it is called brandishing and can be a misdemeanor or felony. If it is visible enough when it is supposed to be concealed, then here in Texas you can get in lots of trouble.

Depends on local and state laws. Open carry is legal in several western states without a license.

Your weapon has to be unloaded and concealed to prevent
hunters, from shooting "out of" their windows. <}:-})
