In the current issue of Combat Handguns ( Feb 2011, Volume 32 #1 ( why it came out now in the first week of November 2010 I don't know )) there is a good article by Mas Ayoob about people getting into trouble because although they were legally carry concealed they accidentally let their CCW handgun be seen. Page 8.
Also, in that same issue there are three stories of people preventing crimes by showing or allowing their CCW handgun to be seen. Page 6.
Sometimes it is good to OC and others it is better to CC. Living in Alabama I can OC if I want to but CC all the time. But knowing that I can lawfully OC means I could do the same as those in the It Happened to Me article. In sates where OC is illegal I and you could get into legal trouble if we did the same and could not prove to the authorities that it was necessary.
We need legal OC in all fifty states and DC, Puerto Rica, Virginia Islands and all those other little places as well as CC.
Take care ya'll
