The knife had a fake mustache and googly eyes glued on as he waved it around, so people didn't realize it was a weapon.

I'm carrying a concealed weapon right now. (It's a S&W .380 M&P.) I have a card in my wallet that makes this completely legal in the state where I live, and in 35 other states. I'm always amazed at the culture clash between the anti-gun lobby (including the press), and people who choose to exercise an important constitutional right. A gun is just a tool. It can be used for both good and bad purposes. Also, the NY Post article says; "To some families, it’s an outrage that a person convicted of a violent crime would be awarded an organ others so desperately need. But doctors often disagree and there are no laws prohibiting someone with a criminal history from receiving a transplant." Elsewhere in the same article, it says; "A jury found him guilty of battery and carrying a concealed weapon but acquitted him of of intent to murder. Washington County Circuit Judge Daniel Moylan called the stabbing a case of “extreme violence” and sentenced him to 10 years behind bars." The facts of the crime are not given, but apparently a jury did not believe he intended to kill, and since the victim did not die right away, there was no killing to prosecute.

  Given your expertise, maybe you know, what is 'openly carrying a concealed weapon'? In particular, ‘openly’

    There is "open carry" and "concealed carry", but I've never heard the usage you are asking about. I suppose that if one had a knife sheathed and attached to their belt, but was wearing a jacket that concealed the knife, that might qualify. I know of people who were legally openly carrying a firearm and got convicted of carrying a concealed weapon because of a jacket. The laws vary by state, so such a thing is possible in some states.

  That's great, but none of it answers the question.

Believe it or not, in some jurisdictions you can have a ccdw license and are fine to carry concealed, but it is illegal to carry said weapon openly. I don't like the wording of that charge(if it even really exists), but that's all I can come up with.
