Man. coming down a little harsh on him aren't ya?
He has a business, if his customers freak out, they won't be coming back. Maybe feeding his family and keeping his home is more important to him than being a spokesperson for the OC movement.
As for folks on this board who claim they "think nothing" of someone OCing...why wouldn't we? With the exception of the occasional troll, we are all Pro-2A, and pro-guns. I think it goes without saying that a normal person carrying a firearm is not going to alarm any of us. now if he/she was doing so, while talking to trees and squirrels, and claiming to be Joan of Arc, yeah it might make some of us nervous.
I would NEVER OC here (gaston county, NC). I think folks would freak. 25 yrs ago, they would not have thought twice about it, heck downtown Charlotte, 10 years ago they would not have thought twice about it. I have no intention of making a spectacle of myself. plus people freak, NC has this wonderful "Going armed to the terror of the public" law that can be a royal PITA. They may not convict you but who wants to get arrested?
I also rarely walk out of my home without my concealed piece on me. If i were to see someone OCing here, I would not bat an eye, except to maybe see if I could see what he/she was carrying. I would really not bash the OP for his conclusion. He has a business to run. It is unfortunate folks would react that way, but like it or not his customers did and he needs them to stay in business.
