Why the hell would anyone want to carry an unloaded gun around?  What's the point?  Citizens already have the right to get a concealed carry permit, and carry it around loaded.  Why does the gun have to be in sight? 


The reasoning behind the ban is that a cop, seeing a gun, has only a split second to decide whether or not that gun is a threat and take appropriate action.  If some idiot has an weapon in view during a tense encounter, he is likely to get himself shot by the cops, whether he was a threat or not. 


Come to think of it, maybe this is a bad law.  Let the idiots carry guns in sight and get themselves shot.  That way, there will be fewer idiots.
