OC might not be a bad idea there! But if anyone does go bring a friend with a camera and have him/her follow behind you about 10 15 steps behind. The expressions should be worth the time.
We should be very careful about criticizing others....
We (OCers) do not like being called names such as zealots, nutts, gun whacko's etc... yet some of us are willing to poke fun at these folks? Now they may not make a lot of sense to some of us but, remember we don't make a lot of sense to most Americans yet. My understanding of this group is they take issue (however disorganized) with the 1% of US corporations and Uber wealthy that get special breaks, benefits etc... I don't have a dog in this fight. The way I see it is we should make it very clear that we support all constitutional rights, especially those such as the 1A, that benefit directly from the 2A and vice versa. Whether we agree with them or not, we should avoid publicly demeaning them. If we take the high road and state we support their right to peacefully assemble and air their grievances, they may see us as the good guys/gals we are, and not the gun nuts they thought we were.
As with many things in life you will find that, often there are more things to bind us together than to divide us. Just saying sugar & spice works far better than urine & vinegar in most cases.

I think it would be more fun, and much safer to blend in rather than openly carrying while surrounded by a mob of anti's. However, i do respect your right to carry as you see fit.
i do not want to OC at an OWS protest, but i have been thinking it would be fun to throw in an element of satire and make a sign that is pro-capitalism, but clever enough that most of the protesters don't get it.
or maybe i could make one about people making under $40/yr paying their fair share! Since on average, people who make under $40K get more money back in credits than they pay in federal payroll tax.
Maybe this sign....
