I don't make a big deal out of it and lots of folk never even notice.
Wouldn't you be at a disadvantage if people/bad guy/etc knew preemptively that you are carrying?
I'd just rather not be the first oneHow many news stories have you seen about OCers who were deliberately attacked because they were OCing?
First, I'm not trying to suggest whether or not open carrying will make you the first target in a crime b/c I have no idea.How many news stories have you seen about OCers who were deliberately attacked because they were OCing?
Point madeHow many news stories have you seen about OCers who were deliberately attacked because they were OCing? None, (there was a hoax story in MI, but it was busted) because it doesn't happen. How about CCers who were, because the BG didn't know their 'victim' was armed? lots.
Well, personally, I think *I* help our cause.
Young ladies see a tall, very good looking, obviously highly educated and well dressed young man with a classy pistol on his hip, it will force them to rethink their preconceived notions that people who carry guns all are fat people with neck beards who wear camo everyday.
