It is. Everything boils down to PR. Until you convince the overwhelming majority of people in the nation that open carry...anywhere..is fine, it will hurt the cause.
Political battles aren't won by "in your face" activism, particularly when the media is against you which is the case right now. Until you get far left, anti gun people out of the media, people the battle is theirs.
The battle can be won, but it's going to take brains, not brawn.
When I was in HS, I had an industrial arts teacher who carried his .44 mag. around class, passed it around for the kids to look at and kept it on his desk. The public has been blitzed with anti gun propaganda since then.

Martin Luther King and the Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender cultures would disagree with that.
The difference is not the tactic it is the media support.

Go tell the gays, they didn't get the memo.. Maybe they were too busy making "in your face" activism win political battles

And you think the best way to accomplish that is by not OC'ing where it's perfectly legal to do so. Amazing...

It actually takes a combination of both. Let me help you figure out something you haven't quite clued in on. The laws are changed by activism and education through public awareness. Louisiana has a very strict standard of scrutiny, OC isn't going to be legislated against no matter how many OC at Wally world. CC advocates who "mock" or "roll their eyes" at a OC'er are part of the problem because they'd rather play the part of delicate wall flowers and hope to merely stop or delay incremental erosion of the 2A. That isn't good enough anymore. Either step up or get out of the way.
