I suspect that the reason is the same that most gun stores and pawn shops don't want people bringing loaded guns into their businesses because of fear of robbery.
How often are you aware of people carrying a concealed weapon, given that "concealed" means you can't see it? If I have mine in my purse, will you know it is there? But I respect the rights of businesses and other venues to make the "no guns" rule and don't take it anywhere it is prohibited.
When Texas passed their open carry rule, a lot of my more liberal, Texas living friends were up in arms. But other than a few fools who got on the capitol steps and waved their guns around, will it change anything? Alabama has open carry and I never see anyone other than law enforcement and the occassional hunter on the street open carrying.
