It's not 31 states. MOST states have provisions for open carry. Only a handful prohibit it, and even those states have exceptions (no open carry pistols, but long rifles allowed. Or unloaded allowed, loaded not allowed. Or not allowed, except in rural areas that have legislated exemptions, for example).

Florida
Illinois
New York
South Carolina

Are the only states that prohibit open carry. And of those, Illinois is the only state that actually enforces the prohibition on both pistols and long guns/rifles.
