Let's say you are in your local gas station standing in line with your Cherry Coke you have been wanting since you got off of work 10 mins ago. I mean you really have been craving this Cherry Coke. So now you are standing in line with your pistol on your hip in the holster(open carrying) You have two people in front and a guy behind you that just came in and kinda walked around the store before getting in line he didn't grab anything to buy.

But guess what he notices, a pistol on your side. Now your still dreaming of how awesome this Cherry Coke is going to be and are getting impatient because the guy at the counter doesn't know which Lotto tickets he wants to buy. Well another customer walks and notices your gun and gets a little uneasy but hey open carry is legal so whatever. Then you sort of feel a tug on your side and you look down and now there is YOUR gun pointed at YOUR face while the guy who "cased the joint" has decided to rob the place/or bolts out the door with a free gun.

This doesn't happen concealed, nobody is uneasy about a firearm they happen to see, a criminal doesn't use or steal your firearm while you are thinking about/not paying attention whats around you. You have the jump on someone who's intent is to do harm by not making yourself a target from the get go.

TL;DR Concealed Carry is Concealed. No one knows you have sidearm and you have a better chance of not being targeted for it.
