Its not about pissing people off, its about not allowing someone else to deny you a right.
Is it making a statement, yes it is. Any time we exercising a right we make a statement in favor of said right.
Is it about proving a point, yes it is. Any time you do anything it proves the point that you can do said thing, in this case exercising a right.
Are some people uncomfortable by others exercising this right, yes they are. I'm uncomfortable with some things as well but that does not mean others should never do them. It just means I choose not to do them. I CC and OC many times all by myself, does this mean I'm not making a statement or proving a point, not it does not. Its not just doing a thing with numbers of people or just doing it alone, It is simply excercising a right. For those people who are uncomfortable with weapons they may choose to never carry one or own one and that is fine...that is their RIGHT! For those of us who do choose to carry one or own one that is our right as well. Each side has to allow the other side their opinion and to excercise this right how they wish. As long as each side remains within the law there is no problem. We all have the right to disagree or be uncomfortable and those are rights that need "excercising" as much as any other!
