Im inclined to agree. I've spent a little bit of time around firearms and I am comfortable with them but thats because I know my own abilities and limitations. I just don't trust strangers walking around with guns. A random dude diddy-bopping around town with a pistol on his hip would make me (and most people) uncomfortable enough that we would leave the scene. To put it another way, open carry is a pretty quick way to put a lot of people on edge while drawing attention to yourself.

While I totally support the right to carry openly, I have never done it in my personal (as opposed to professional) life as a courtesy to the folks around me.
