What is a good response when you're OCing and someone makes negative comments about it? I'd like to hear about personal experience, as well as different situations (i.e. customer service worker, random stranger, LEO). I'm not looking to be funny or witty, but something that will get me out of the conversation fast and without saying anything that they could use to say I'm a terrorist or anything (I've read some crazy stories). Reason I ask is I'm looking at starting OC, and want to be prepared for the people who suddenly think I'm an evil person just because I have a self defense tool on my hip.
Some specific scenarios I've read about are:
LEO harassment
Stores saying "don't come back"
Random strangers calling 911 because they think you're a criminal
People asking if you feel the location you're in is dangerous
People asking if you have a permit (in my state, permit is not required for OC)
People saying you should CC instead of OC (either a pro- who is afraid of losing rights or an anti who wants to pretend you dont have one)
Please note, I do not want to start an OC vs. CC debate, so unless it pertains specifically to the last scenario, I'm not looking for input.
