Just because something is legal to do, doesn't mean its a polite thing to do. And a having a right to do something is not an obligation to do that thing. The philosophical underpinnings have been a subject of discussion for many decades, but the point here is that even though the guy has a right to open-carry, and he is acting in a completely legal fashion, that does not imply that his actions are not deliberately provocative. And provoking folks is certainly not a polite way to act. We have been told that an armed society is a polite society - well, this armed guy certainly ain't bein' polite.
