The burden is on the open carrier to prove differently, as far as I'm concerned. The laws authorizing that sort of armed public intimidation need to be done away with. If training-based and licensed concealed carry for legitimate personal protection isn't enough to satisfy you, there's something fundamentally wrong with you and you shouldn't be around firearms at all.
