Open carry is legal here in TN, although the intent of the law as its been explained to me was to protect those of us who carry from being prosecuted for "brandishing" if our shirt got hung up and exposed our carry weapon, etc. I don't plan on walking around town open, but I'll at least go by my favorite gun store, just because I can. I'll also likely change my carry weapon when I carry open. There just aren't that many chances to conceal the Super Blackhawk
