This statement embodies my beef with open carry. While I think it should be legal and may be a valid option for some law abiding citizens, strapping on a pistol for the purposes of looking for the "reaction of my fellow citizens" just sits wrong with me.
I carry a firearm for self defense, nothing more. Not to teach, not to get a rise out of people, and not to conduct social engineering experiments. To each their own but this is exactly the behaviour I expected....
Which is completely within your right to do under the law. Why do you object to those of us who choose to carry differently than you do, but still within our rights under the law? Nobody is going around telling you that you should carry in a way other than what you are comfortable with.
