I.e., about the motives of people who choose to open carry. So any onus here is on you.

Really, the only anti-OC arguments in this thread break down into a) it's wrong because some people get squicked out by it, and b) it's wrong because the people who do it are assholes doing it for asshole reasons. The first is an obviously ludicrous objection, and the second relies on your unsupported assumptions (and is still an unacceptable basis for policy in this context)...
