Who doesn't OC and why?

Most people don't OC. Most people give oddly constructed and extremely unlikely scenarios to justify their reasoning, as if they needed to justify their choice at all.

I am not most people.

Maybe the OP missed the sticky at the top of this forum? Nah, why would this have been discussed before. I'll be the one to post it.

Why have a forum at all? Just go look everything up in ****ing Wikipedia.

I tend to be around a lot of 4-6 year old girls.

Nice

I guess my reason is more a practical matter than a matter of principle. I find in my line of work When OC ing, my firearm tends to hang up on obstructions when climbing in and out and under machinery. Also the gun tends to stay cleaner when working around livestock.

Tsk tsk. Such language so early in the morning. For most topics I would agree with you. There is a reason that the sticky is there. This topic is SOOOOOO common it is ridiculous.

It isn't like you had to search for that thread. It is right there staring you in the face if you open your eyes. A little effort isn't a bad thing.

I CC because no fascist law requires me to display it. No other reason needed.

No sleep+no coffee=no filter. Perhaps I overreacted, but I see this so much (and have had it happen myself) when a question is asked.

And regarding the OC/CC argument thread, how much fun is it to read someone else's old argument when you can have one of your own?

 

[SteveM4A1]

I can't believe these very important points haven't been brought up before...

by the way, have you given any thought to the right caliber to carry?

.50 BMG. Any less and you aren't prepared.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

I CC because I choose pepsi over coke, ford over chevy & PC over mac.

 

[9mmfan]

I use to open carry until I had that scary run in with the 5 year old girl.....had nightmares for weeks and couldn't sleep without having a light on!

Use purple if needed.

Because I have a five year old foster daughter who recently graduated into six year old status.

Btw, if five year olds are the bane of OCers then six to eight eat CCers alive... I was at a friend's house and within five minutes both of her kids found my 1911 in an IWB holster under a shirt lol.

 

[ljk]

I don't, I CC if I carry. I don't have firearm related stickers/patches on myself, my house or my vehicles either.

I'd like to keep a low key approach with my firearms.

Not this again.The noob is strong in this one.

That is the best post I've read in a while! I love it!

Someone spelled "exercising" wrong.

 

[LP1]

Do people worry less about the gun they see or the gun they don't see?

They worry less about the gun they can't see. How else can you explain the "no gun" signs?

 

[LP1]

It's the people I can't see but still hear their voices that bother me the most.

I know the voices aren't real, but they sure have some good ideas.

 

[Fishersjohn48]

Pepsi over Coke? I mean, what even are you?

To the OP: If having your holstered firearm taken from you whilst "unawares" by a meth-head is your worry, then you really need to work on your SA and retention practices.
