That's a city mentality, and is not shared by everyone else in the US (luckily). Notice how you let slip your own emotional baggage with OC: it's "flaunting." No, it's not "flaunting." It's OC, nothing more. It's a gun, just something else a law abiding citizen might wear to a restaurant.
If some of the public is uncomfortable withy OC, then let them get comfortable with it, through peaceful exposure. Indeed, the restaurant patrons were doing exactly that. It was police misconduct which turned peaceful dining into the ugly incident it was.

The right was already secured. These types of incidents tend to motivate the antis to restrict our rights.

No, it's the attitude of people like you -- ostensibly on our side -- who think guns are something to be ashamed of, and wearing one is "flaunting" or "provoking."
