10. True, but I wonder what their rational is?

I mean do they seriously think that it "in your face" is actually a good idea to legalize open carry? The appropriateness of OC in an urban area is a different issue, which I generally think it isn't.

People are threatened, sometimes irrationally sometimes not, by anything out of the ordinary. A bunch of guys standing around in a parking lot with no signs or any indication of why they are there would freak most city folks out. When I was a kid, there was a guy who open carried on his motorcycle when he went to the range. The way Wyoming's CCW laws were at the time, that was the only legal way to carry it since a saddle bag or a pack would be the same as under the car seat or glove box. When he stopped for gas, he fueled his bike, paid for it and left without anyone freaking.
