Interesting historical note on OC vs CC: In Early America, and in a great many other cultures, Common Law gave a man the right to openly carry arms to defend himself and his party. The act of concealing was considered deceitful and to show criminal intent, and was therefore regulated.
Interesting how we reached a point (society overall, not IN specifically) first where self defense was only tokenly recognized--you had the right to defend yourself with lethal force...as long as it was bare handed against Arnold Schwarzenegger armed with a minigun. And then gruddgingly with a concealed weapon that of necessity would be small and less effective than a larger one.
