I know I will be in the minority here for this but I think you are at a tactical disadvantage with open carry. (I open carry for political reasons) Depending on how the situation unfolds you have to decide whether or not to draw your weapon. In my experience people are painfully slow to notice the weapon. When the weapon is in plain viewand your attackersdominate the situation they will disarm youor you will have to draw at a disadvantage.I think you are at a better advantege with surprise. You can hold off deploying your weapon until the situation is ideal. I don't think the disadvantage is huge or overwhelming. It won't even matter for most people.
Open carry does have a few tactical advantages. If those are the types of situations you are preparing for than that is ideal for you.
