I shoot recreationally and competitively with an AR that is also set up for defensive use. I could see taking it camping, but carrying it into a restaurant or grocery shopping would be pretty silly from either a defensive or a public-relations standpoint, and IMO being intentionally rude to others is stupid and counterproductive no matter who does it.

FWIW, I have a carry license and carry a 9mm, concealed, and have only open carried camping/hiking or in other circumstances in which it wouldn't make a scene; I don't believe any non-gunnie has ever noticed me carrying in the 20+ years I've been licensed to do so. Quietly and responsibly carrying a gun while going about one's daily business is one thing; parading around the grocery store with a FAL saying "look at meeeee!" or trying to get a negative reaction is quite another.
