OC for Tactical Advantage

No, not necessarily. But I just want to clarify that it just paints a big fat target on you. No attention, is good attention. My belief in carrying is not to look cool but to have an insurance policy which I pray to God that I do not ever have to use. :smile:
Please provide one example in reality that it paints a big fat target on them? I don't think the majority of the people on this forum carry to look cool, including the open carriers. Good attention is good attention. No attention is fine until people forget what is their rights, fine until guns are thought of as evil, fine until we can no longer carry in any form. I guess no attention is bad attention then.

I agree with you fully but why OC and give them the opportunity to kill you or mortally wound you just to take your gun and shot to kill or mortally wound 10 others in the process? If they were crazy enough, they are going to get your gun and most likely, you did not know it was coming. I know this sounds extreme but why risk it in the first place?
It is extreme, so extreme actually, its unrealistic. Why would they risk killing themselves over a gun they could purchase for a few hundred dollars illegally elsewhere? Why would you want to hide your means of defense under a piece of clothing that will only get in the way when this crazy person goes straight for cold blooded murder? Will you have enough time to draw before he immediately kills you?
Btw, i'm not biting at your neck like some other posters believe because they can't back up their decisions, these are question we ask all those that feel the way you do. And to this day, they still have not been able to give any hard evidence.
