First of all I dont OC myself and I dont plan on doing it in the future but I have nothing against it.It just not the best option for me.
Both OC and CC have advantages and disadvantages depending on the situatation and that is not another OC vs CC thread.
That being said I would like to know what do you hear the most when you OC.What is the best and worse encounter you had?
I guess you hear a lot of "Are you a police officer?", "Is this a gun?" and things like "Why do you feel the need to carry a gun?".
In my opinion one of the benefits of OC is to teach the general public that law enforcement officers are not the only ones who can legally carry guns in the states.Lots of people just dont know about it and maybe after a talk with someone who OC they will spread the word to other people.
For that I feel that OC is a good think even if I dont feel like doing it myself.If I ever happen to OC "by accident" and someone sees my firearm maybe they wont freak out because they learned from seing people who OC all the time that its fine to carry a gun.
So for that I have to salute you guys who OC for spreading the good word.
I also know that in the other hand you have to deal with all the anti-gun people and I respect you even more for that because I know how some people can be really obtuse about guns.
