Concealed Carry: From a tactical standpoint concealed carry has the benefit of surprise. A criminal that is not aware of your firearm will not pay any special attention to you. That may give you an opportunity to get into a good position to use your firearm to stop a crime.

Open Carry: Open carry has a couple advantages–first is that your firearm may be a deterrent. A criminal that sees your firearm may not be prepared to fight you–and may choose another location that isn’t so difficult. But the opposite may also be true–they may see your firearm and attack you first with the intention of eliminating the biggest threats. Another advantage of open carry is that you can draw your weapon much quicker (that time gap obviously decreases as you train). With your weapon not being covered with clothes you can access it more quickly.

I see that you responded to me so I will respond to you. Obviously OC allows for faster drawing. However, I do not believe that OCing is much of a deterrent. I believe that if a criminal is going to commit a crime, they are going to commit a crime. I just would rather not be targeted first and have the element of surprise on my side.
ETA: I am referring to a store robbery or shooting. In a mugging OC would be beneficial but that is not at the top of my concern for my daily life style nor work environment.
