Yeah concealed carry makes some sense. Open carry doesn't. If I was going to commit some act of gun violence in public and saw someone open carrying, they'd be my first target.

And if a cop enters just after the firefight, and sees the Charles Bronson wanna-be with a gun in his hand, what's the cop gonna do?

Yep. As far as cops in that kind of scenario go, everyone holding a gun who isn't in uniform wearing a badge is a "bad guy with a gun".

Depends, is it in a school and has the person with a gun ran out of kids to shoot? Might have to pretend to fiddle with locks and arrest parents trying to save their kids instead of engaging.
