Most of the time I carry concealed.

I OC when filling up my pick up - I keep my head on a constant swivel.

I think of OC-ing as beggar/dirtbag repellent.

mrerick,

Not disputing - where do you get your numbers?

8 million?

And now, yes, I'll be a tad contentious: Are you anti-OC?

A lot of folks get their CHL or LTC and never touch their gun again well before carrying was cool...

In general, these new gun owners are probably no less trained or motivated to learn than many others who bought handguns 20 years ago never to bother with further training/practice and the streets haven't run red with blood...so...

In my state of Texas OC-ing is legal.

Have a problem with OC-ing?

You might not want to come here as law abiding folks aren't compelled to wear masks and ignore anti-OC karens....

 

[ez9ez9]

Karens of every stripe exist.

If 'YOU' don't want to OC...don't.

Stop lecturing us who do.

Now go put your mask on, distance yourself away from humanity and get in line for your vaccine shots, pronto...karen.

I OC when I fuel up.

Keeps the riff-raff at bay as in: Pardon me sir, may I have a moment of your time as I'm broke and 'ahhhhh, I'll just be moving along now....!

 

[ez9ez9]

OC is legal in Texas.

One of the other pluses about it is: “Brief and inadvertent exposure” while reaching the top shelf in the grocery store is 'No problem' assuming you have a License to Carry.

So, even those who don't care to OC also benefit...

 

[ez9ez9]

mre,

"Why upset them needlessly?"

I don't understand - would you please elaborate?

Thanks!

 

[ez9ez9]

Some are fine with CC, but don't think OC is...sensible.

I know of one such person, who, fully informed that OC is legal in his state had the 'gall' to call the police when he spotted a man OCing, because 'HE" deemed it 'not sensible'.

Male 'karens' need to work harder at minding their own busines....

BK,

I agree with the camoed OC guy being tasteless, but if what he's doing is legal, it's legal.

I see people wearing gawd-awful, garish clothing and dressing like utterly tasteless clowns, but what they wear is none of my business. I wear conservative clothing, but I wouldn't dream of trying to be a 'fashionista'.

What the 'other guy' does within the bounds of law whether it's tasteless or you 'think' it besmirching of us gun carriers isn't germane.

What the other guy does is strictly his business whether you agree with his taste or not.

 

[ez9ez9]

Bob,

I don't base my very occasional OC carry because it may give some 'tree hugger' the vapors, they can faint dead away and I'd just laugh...not being snarky, just don't base my decisions on some pusillanimous (love that word) nitwit's hoplophobic fear.

 

[ez9ez9]

There are those that think we should act as 'embassadors' along the lines they think 'embassadors' should behave.

Guess what?

I'm not you and as long as what I do is legal, you can clutch your pearls and gasp...
