The Open Carry Argument

[Titanium_Frost]

I'll be more specific, mine is an AR so it has a rail on it. I wanted a specific style and its not as easy with the rail and a thumb safety that Berettas don't have.

Actually the Beretta can come with a Rail...
I am not familiar with the AR version of the PT92...

Our apologies.

Now back to your regularly scheduled argument.

Neg Rep Lovemachine for asking Fashion advice on what holster to wear when OC'ing....

Hmmmm... should we add "asking for holster suggestions" to the Common OC/CC Threadjacks thread?

 

[ATM]

Concealed carry seems like the way to go.

Did you get that from the essay in the first post or do you have new ideas to bring to the discussion?

No wild west...

How familiar are you with the societal norms of the wild west?

If you're just regurgitating a cliche used by the Brady bunch, you might consider researching a bit further.

Not sure, I think this is the Only time a CC has ever asked for OC Holster advice....

Hmm... I seem to be out of neg rep. This would be a fine time for it.

Seems fitting, and that thread has been neglected lately.

If you are going to OC, you have to use Leather. Plastic, just does not have any style or class to it.

I agree, but how did we get talking about Glocks?

 

[jeremy]

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank all CC'ers out here for helping to criminalize the attitude that OC is what Dangerous Persons or Criminals do...

Thank you for a thought provoking read. It reminds me of the MAD theory or Mutually Assured Destruction theory for nuclear weapons. In concept, if you have a big enough consequence the bad guy will back down.

From personal experience, the knowledge that my partner and I carry has prevent confrontational situations a couple of times. Long story short; remove a child from a convicted child molester and you will make some enemies. Why people believe child molesters are framed or innocent is beyond me.

You see the police flag your LTCHG to your driver's license and home address. I have no proof but there have been times we have had to call the police and they are always quick to ask if we are armed. They also seem to respond faster to the house since getting my LTCHG.

I carry concealed but not very well as I don't wish to dig for my gun. I flip a shirt or jacket over it to minimize the shocked look on peoples faces when my shirt rides up.

Thanks for the read, it will give me something to think about.

People who OC are always going to be the first targets of criminals. It's a fact. I swear to God it is.

Your Tinfoil is too tight.
By the way, how often do they respond to your house?

I had nothing to do with this hijack - are you proud of me?

Proud is a bit strong... but keep up the fine efforts.



(And take it easy on Cheeseburger, she's new and still has an open mind.)

Well, my mother came down in her basement and told me she was proud.

Sorry, Cheeseburger, keeping learning - just be careful who you learn from here.

Surely you jest.

In my years of carrying, I'd say that 99% of people that have been around me don't give two ****s that I'm carrying.

I'd be willing to amend that to, 99% of the People that have been around me are unaware that I am even Carrying...

I have been carrying since I turned 18 and originally oc'd but after so many people mostly LEOs giving me gruff I started to cc. I miss oc but find it so much easier not being asked to leave establishments and such. Does anyone else have these issues?
