[QUOTE=matthh1987;1057607610]I get to talk to a lot of CHL holders and their opinion (mine too as a CHL holder) is that they (we) will still concealed carry. The benefit is if I am at the grocery store and I reach up to grab something and my gun is exposed a little and it frightens a soccer mom, I won't get charged with brandishing my firearm.
This is pretty much how most CHL folks seem to be looking at open carry. All of them I talk to don't intend to open carry, but like the freedom of not worrying as much about printing or accidently flashing while bending over or something. The new law does away with the potential technicality of accidently "brandishing". You are required by law to show your license to a officer if asked, so illegally open carrying with no CHL would be a risky proposition.
