I suppose I just can't see why it's not applicable to daily routines. We're largely of the opinion that possession of weapons is a good thing in this community, so why should they be hidden?

The true belief is that it is good to "be prepared to deal with possible threats." The opinion is not that it is "good to carry a gun." There is a very important distinction there.
People who open carry when the situation does not warrant it are missing that distinction. They are taking themselves from the position of passive preparedness to aggressive posturing.
