The folks in Ohio must have read your mind. Actually, they must be both pre-cognitive and psychic. This Gun Walk was scheduled a couple of weeks ago. It has gotten a lot of attention in the last few days and is expected to draw a much larger crowd.

They complain that the court's decision leaves the state with a total ban on concealed carry but no restrictions on people who carry guns in the open.
Their theory could be put to the test Sunday when advocates of a new law gather on Florida Avenue in Cincinnati for a protest march. The protesters intend to march with holstered guns in public view.
Vernon Ferrier, the Hyde Park hairdresser who joined the lawsuit three years ago, said the goal of the walk is to draw attention to the need for a new concealed carry law.
He concedes that carrying guns in the open is "a bad idea," but he said the march is the only way to drive that point home to the legislators who have the power to change the law.

Without question. I've heard that this played some part in West Virginia's adoption of a non-discretionary permit law. Ohio, to my knowledge, has no ban on open carry.
