Exactly. Licensing Open-Carry would be a disaster. Every time somebody openly carried a handgun,they would be stopped,disarmed,and "checked' for license.
No thanks-I'll take mine without a licensing requirement or not at all.

A little late for this particular comment, but no one else seems to have addressed it. IANAL, but probable cause would still be required unless the officers were conducting a Terry stop. We've been through all of this open carry rigamarole, and still go through it to this day in Georgia. Yes, certain departments and police chiefs will encourage the "your gun is all the probable cause I need" type actions until they get their hands smacked. However, some ramp up time to train LEOs just like the public is to be expected.
