I agree. It is one of the Stated goals of Louisiana Carry to get Alaska style carry here in LA. (No permit needed, but those who want one, in order to have reciprocity with other States while traveling can get one).
I intend to acquire a law degree to forward this cause as much as possible.
It is possible that there may come a time in my life when I am willing to carry openly all the time (not yet, as there are many places that I work, like this morning- I already made $1000 in two hours at a business, where I may not be welcome if my weapon is visible).
There may come a time when one of the battles choose to fight is to carry concealed w/o a permit as a specifically chosen act of civil disobedience.
Neither of those times are now, as I have a family that counts on me to earn what I am earning.
In the meantime,I assert that it is imprecise to say that I have waived any rights. I am not pleased about the immoral and unconstitutional (IMO, RE: the COTUS) laws regarding CCW, but I do not waive my right to OC because I have a CHP. A more precise objection to the situation might be that I potentially lend credibility to the State by accepting a permit. Not good, but we must pick our battles. You and I would like to see coercive governments dissolve entirely, I know. You and I are both intelligent enough to know that is not going to happen anytime soon. I put alot of time and energy into forwarding the RKBA in all ways that I see feasible, but- again- I pick my battles. There are benefits, at times, to carrying concealed. There are benefits, at times, to carrying openly. I would rather have the legal option to do both without a permit, but I choose to have the legal option to do both, in the meantime, regardless, for my own reasons. I think you can respect that.
