Exactly. No one has responded to why they are uncomfortable with it yet cops open carry everyday.

It can't just be the sight of gun.

What's the deal issue of seeing a plain clothed person open carrying.

I'm curious about that.

Most of the people who make a big deal about open carry look weird as frick.

People who look weird as frick make me uncomfortable anyway, and when I see someone who looks weird as frick who is also holding a weapon easily capable of killing me it makes me even more uncomfortable. I'd prefer not to be uncomfortable when eating my patty melt.

I say this as a gun-owner with a CCL.

Edited to add:
I'm not talking about a hunter or cowboy looking guy with a holstered pistol.

I'm talking about one of those Sons of Anarchy looking d-bags with an AR-15.

Just let me eat my fricking sandwich.

If you're carrying a gun on your person as you go about your daily business I assume you are either incredibly paranoid, making a political statement, or actively want to use it.

In all three cases I don't want to be around that person. I don't want to be around anyone concealed carrying either, but I don't know about so there's nothing for me to react to.

"It can't just be the sight of gun."

That is exactly it. It's unsettling in say... Frisco TX... for a mom and her kids to be sidled up in a booth next to bubba with his holster.

If you don't understand that, like WB does, then no use debating this.
