Those other things you mentioned are non-sensical.
This is about the 2nd Amendment which reserves the right to bear arms.
This was further interpreted to mean in defense of self and country.
In the most recent look at the 2nd Amendment, the "Shelly Parker v. District of Columbia" decision in March 2007, it was decided that "bear" simply means "carry."
The issue, then is about
how you bear arms.
This is still Constitutional and valid.
There are plenty of limitations on rights. Even though you have freedom of speech you can't yell, "FIRE" in a crowded theater. Yes, you are practicing your Constitution right to say what you want, but you are also... as I wrote before... disturbing the peace.
If people didn't have a right to peace, or a right to not be afraid, there would be no legal consequences for someone running into a crowded bank and yelling, "I'VE GOT A GUN!!"
You can carry a gun and be constantly "prepared" for any situation. But I don't support your right to have it out in the open. It's unnecessary. The only difference between OC and CC is that you want people to be intimidated. Walking around intimidating people disturbs the peace. It's that simple.
