If this is the only code concerning carry of a firearm, then yes OC is legal.

When codes like this were written, the concealing of a deadly weapon was perceived as an act of deception (dishonesty)that potentially led to other felonious acts. Theorically, honest people will always carry a weapon openly.

This is why many states do not require permits for OC while they do regulate CC.

This only applies if you plan on illegal activities.

I'll have to disagree with you. The fact that you have on your person any one of the listed weapons and it is concealed is the offense.

It doesn't matter, under that code, that you have the purest of motives in carrying concealed. You are still guilty of the unlawful use of weapons.
