I have heard the argument that OCing makes you a target many times. I always reply with the challenge to show me a case where an average person who was OCing (not security or LE personell) was singled out for attack. I have never had anyone show a legitimate case of such.
Every case that I have ever heard of, that sounded like it would qualify, later turned out to be made up, or the person was involved with some type of criminal activity, or was a case of someone just looking for trouble, which caused the encounter.
The reason that LE and security personell are excluded is that it is thier job which primarily makes them a target of the criminal element, not random encounters.
Another point to ponder, if CC is superior to OC in a tactical sense, why do LEOs primarily OC?
