It is hard to argue that a person open carrying is giving up an important part of their tactical advantage that concealment gives.
No, it's not. Police would all be plain clothed and concealing if that were the case.
Also there's this:

There's advantages/disadvantages to both OC and CC. Most are dependent on situation. Either isn't for everyone.
And there's nothing tactical about most gun owners who carry. They're just everyday folks who like the option of protecting themselves how they choose.
Being 73 years old and weighing in at 105 pounds, I doubt she could fend off an attack by a 13 year old that wanted her Springfield. I've tried to explain that hiding it from view would allow her to come to someone's rescue if needed and not be the focus of a thief's attention
Devil's Advocate: So you think that she would not be a victim if she were concealing? So old ladies don't get robbed, unless they're open carrying? And if you don't think she's capable of fending off a 13 year old, you think she's capable of aiding in someone else's rescue?
..... but she enjoys people staring at her again!
And
So, open carry all you wish! I'll be the guy standing quietly by, ready to be your backup.
Similar, yes?
You don't open carry, fine. Let others that wish to, do so at their own pleasure. I don't understand the rivalry between OC and CC. Makes little sense to me.
We should support each other's right ti choose how they carry a firearm, not belittle them for their choice if it's disagreeable to yours.
