We have to be careful about attributing peoples reasons for carrying. The US is a big country that is hardly united in its political outlook. Guns are potent symbols for everything from a tradition bound basic farm/ranch tool, to a symbol of resistance to a changing world, to a symbol of authority, to a symbol of resistance to authority, to a symbol of evil incarnate. Personally I find conceal carry to be a reasonable statement of individual self-reliance and open carry to be an attempt to intimidate, but these are instinctive responses based on how people in my region comport themselves.
