re: Ok, i've got a question for you "open carry" guys.

You'll notice that a ton of open carry guys are usually guys who would have never met the physical or mental qualifications to enter the military. This isn't to say it's always the case, but they're, in my experience, either boot camp rejects or guys who were washed out/separated early. 

However, I actually look toward Leftist thinking people to explain the phenomenon because they exhibit it a lot. You see, most American Liberals' heroes are victims of oppression and because of this, they look for ways to be like their heroes and we have this really bizarre thing where people think there are racist/sexist affronts in day to day conversations that simply are not there. 

You ask a Liberal who Harriet Tubman was and they know who it is right away and even rely on fake history to bolster up how 'good' she was. MLK, Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman etc. etc.., you can see a pattern in it. 

You ask a Liberal who William Harvey Carney was and they'll be hard pressed to tell you without whipping out their phone. 

Open Carry is the Right-Wing equivalent of American Liberals trying to see themselves in their heroes. They love the Constitution and Forefathers like it were a religious cult, and so they seek to be "revolutionaries" as well. Standing up the evil tyrants and doing what's their right bah gawd. 

You can also see it in people who deliberately make a police officer's life that much harder by doing things like not producing their Identification when asked by a Law Enforcement officer. They want everything to be a heroic moment like their idols. 

Any person with a few ounces of intellect understand that concealed carry is not just safer, it's strategic! The whole point of warfare as early as Sun Tzu is deception, not showing your hand to the enemy.
