    | How's this for a fix?  Add, "...persons openly carrying holstered handguns retain all of the protections incident to the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution." |

    | An even better fix would be to eliminate the requirement for a concealed carry license for open carry.  Then LEO would not have to stop someone to see their permit because a permit would not be a requirement. 
 Pennsylvania and quite a few other states have no license requirement for open carry and have not experienced any problems by the people engaged in open carry.  The only problem seems to be when some homophobe calls the police and the police respond aggressively and illegally to disarm the innocent individual.

                      | Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.  — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |  |  |
