I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it: Anybody who finds the licensed concealed carry of firearms insufficient and feels compelled to resort to open carry, is exhibiting the exact traits which should prohibit their possessing guns at all.

And no, open carry bullies, "Goddammit, because the law SAYS I can!" is not an adequate justification for such thuggish behavior.
