If you have a CWP and want to carry, fine, do so but do it concealed.
Why would anyone do open carry if they have a CWP, i.e. what is the point, other than wanting to draw attention to themselves?
Could it be that people who open carry cannot qualify for a CWP?
The authorities out here convicted some clown who was open carrying, parading around for no reason, drawing attention to himself; he said he did it for political reasons, but was convicted nonetheless.
The only time I can see justification for open carrying is if you are on your own property or out in the woods where bears, cougars or other animals could be a threat; open carrying is not needed to deter people, at least not when / if you carry concealed.
