What does that have to do with the OP? The topic is "Unlicensed Open Carry", right? Not "Unlicensed Concealed Carry in a Motor Vehicle".

Nope.

It's what happens when the person commits some kind of violation that matters. This could be rolling through a stop sign, going a few MPH over the limit, etc. These are relatively minor offenses that many otherwise LAC's commit every day.

So when the cop "contacts" a person for one of these minor reasons, if the person is OCing without a license they will probably find themselves in big trouble pretty quickly.

On the other hand, if they have a license, all they are looking at is a minor traffic ticket.

Now if they don't NEED a license, they get to blend right in. The cop has no way of knowing that they have 5 priors or whatever. So all they are looking at is a traffic ticket, just like the LAC.
