First, I'd like to say that although my mind is open it's not gullible. As my username shows, I am not a supporter of open carry laws. I'm on the fence and leaning heavily towards concealed carry on heavily vetted civilians only. In fact, the only reason I know of this website at all is because of a troll on another forum I frequent linking here and spouting flawed and borderline psychotic rhetoric that, honestly, seems designed to breed disdain to those that support these politics. It would be easy enough to search out rationales on wikis, ezines, and the many, many threads on this site, but then I run into a plethora of biased, sensationalist, and badly-grounded information I'd be forced to sift through in an attempt to find the shreds of merit. Since the quality of a position is marked by its ease of explanation, I ask plainly, here: what are your rational arguments for open carry?
