Exhibit 2: members of the gun-activist group Open Carry Texas walk around a Target store brandishing rifles and shotguns. Nobody is shot by the police.
Looking at the police reaction in those two things...I happen to notice that Ohio isn't Texas. That jumped right out.

That said...the Open Carry folks seem to be a special breed of nutcase, and I doubt that they make anyone feel comfortable with them walking around armed like they are.
