Here another reason carrying in the open is pointless. Bad guy standing in line behind you plans on robbing the store or going on a shooting spree. See you are carrying, he then shoots your first, then holds up the store or he tries and possibly succeeds in disarming you. Then what are you going to do? Your up the creek without a paddle. BUT if you have it concealed, the bad guy has no idea you have a gun, tries to rob the store or tries shooting everyone in sight, you have a chance to take out the threat.
Here is one angle you may be missing.
Quite often people that go into rob a store are doing so in order to get money. They don't go in with the intent to shoot anyone. Their weapon is for forcing compliance. It's to intimidate and threaten. But not necessarily to kill unless absolutely necessary. IOW - the intent is to rob not murder. Therefore, he sees someone open carrying a weapon and guess what that can do. It can be a deterrant. He moves on and doesn't rob the place because he realizes that he will most certainly be forced to kill someone in this particular situation because there are others present who are armed.
And the idea about a shooting spree? Sure, a lunatic like that will probably target the open carrying person first. But so what? They are nuts and will shoot the place up regardless. That isn't a good reason for not having open carry. Furthermore, if more people carried then shooting sprees like that wouldn't likely go as far (for obvious reasons) and there would be more of a deterrant in effect overall because nutjobs like that know they will probably be facing return fire much faster than it's going to take the police to get on the scene.

Last year here in Tulsa.....it was a robber in front of a friend of one our MA instructors. Dumbass shot the guy in the leg instead of center mass. Oh well, video showed that he hit the femoral.......quite the pumping action. They never found him, and he never checked into a hospital. Our instructor was one of the officers who responded. Classic case of armed citizen involved in a good shoot.
