I agree, and this is the same reason that I don't generally wear "casual police" clothing when I go out. If I am in the check out line when the armed robber enters the convenience store, I will be his first target. The same would apply to someone who is carrying openly.
I prefer concealed carry and the tactical advantage it brings.
