Damn, it's getting testy in here!
I carry to protect myself and my family. Concealed carry meets that need for me.
Is open carry an effective deterrent? I have seen the stories about the waffle house robbery, and how the scout left the store and they were waiting for the open carry patrons to leave. They didn't abandon their idea of robbery, just delayed it a bit. What if there was only one OC patron? Would they still have waited? I don't know, and neither do you... we could what if it all day.
As far as the Rosa Parks and gun rights comparison, try telling it to the average black man... Civil rights leaders disagree with you.
