Several Stabbed in Tokyo...(Dangers of a disarmed society)

Thats all... plus muggings and crime of that nature go way way down once someone considering this also has to consider they're most likely going to get shot at...

I hope that would be the case. I don't think we'll ever really get to test the theory with the current "laws" pertaining to the carrying of concealed firearms.

But... with even the emergence of the recent "open carry" support one can see a decrease in violent crime as you never know who's around the corner or whom is the the coffee shop someones about to rob.... conceal carry being ideal of course but as you mentioned the so called laws designed for our protection will prohibit that so...(except of course for the explicitly licensed in certain states) open carry I feel has a very similarly positive effect in crime prevention....

I think you're right, open carry could have a similar discouraging effect as ccw.

Here in Ohio, open carry has been found by the Supreme Court to be lawfull without any restrictions or licensing necessary, but they refuse to take action striking down local ordinances prohibiting it.

So, basically, if I carry openly, I'll still be locked up like a criminal, fined, and be relieved of my personal property permanently.

Even with it being a Right in Ohio, the system is so broken that it doesn't make any difference.
