"Gun carriers seem to not notice, or willfully ignore, that apparently-purposeless gun carrying is never going to be regarded as purposeless by bystanders...."

Which is why I consider lawful open carry primarily to be a form of performance art. You're not against art are you, Mr. Lathrop? Do I first have to drop my Glock in a jar of urine or rub elephant dung on it to get you to respect my self-expression?

Who are you to judge me anyway? Dammit, man, it's an aesthetic, not a dialectic. Okay, yea, I'm armed. But I stand here before you a whole person. Why, then, do you insist on valorizing my holstered firearm--fixated upon it, in fact, as if it's some kind of sheathed man-clitoris, ready to emerge, autonomic, at the slightest arousal? Frankly, you're creeping me out.

Next you'll be demanding that Congress slash funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and an end to PBS subsidies.
