That's no different than someone sporting a new (or even used) Rolex. Folks are at risk of being robbed of their valuable possessions if they show the world those possessions.
I'm neither for or against Open Carry as I have not fully researched or though about the issue. I prefer to conceal if I carry. I'm not sure if I care if others Open Carry.

It seems to me that most people who open carry are the equivalent of flashers. They want to shock others.
If I was a bad guy who was going to rob a store and I saw someone openly carrying the first thing I'd do would be to shoot him.
If I was going to rob a store I'd pick one that had a sign posted on the door reading, "No guns allowed."

I will not argue with SSS if he claims they are "justifying their manhood".

No one's ever been shot by a stolen Rolex.

Compensate for their manhood is more like it.
