I see no benefit to OC in this situation. I do see several possible negatives.
Just because we have the right does not mean it is always wise to exercise it.
My brother prefers to OC, and does it almost exclusively. He went to a restaurant and after a few minutes at his table was asked to put his gun in the car because it was upsetting some customers. That restaurant now has a prominent sign posted that says "No Weapons Allowed." There are also two malls that I can no longer carry in because he was approached and made aware of the mall's policy of no weapons. The policies were already in place, but the signs posted were not very easily seen and had to be pointed out to us. That is three locations that I had carried that I am not able to now because of OC.
Even longer. Many old west towns banned the carry of firearms as early as the 1860's.It was the anti-gun bunch that has been "in your face" now for 60 or 70 years.
First of all, in Utah most malls don't prohibit guns.
"99% of malls in America have a no firearms policy."

You may question my reasoning and completely disagree with my opinion, but please don't question my integrity.
OR is an OC state, but a few cities like Portland you can only OC CA style. Ie: unloaded. A mall is private property and as such they can (unfortunately) ban guns. Some have poor wording, and say that "illegal weapons" are prohibited. "Sir you can't have that gun in here!" "Yes I can, it's a legal gun".In ultra-liberal, as-anti-gun-as-the-state-constitution-allows Portland, Oregon, there is only one mall with a stated no-guns policy. (Of course, it's the one notorious for shootings... <sigh> It's the one that I won't go in without being armed. Which means, since they ban guns, I won't go in.)
What a retarded man you are they let YOU have a permit???!!!!!! WTF!!!!!
That's why I support the creation of a national holiday, Sheepdog Awareness Day, also known as wear your CCW Badge to work day.
