It's interesting how me and "my gang" are trolls when we back up what we post with statistics and facts. All you can do is say, "You'll get shot first because that is what they taught us in security guard class!"
Why OC??

Hey, wait a minute I thought it was my gang of trolls. :biggrin:
I am offended when someone asks me to cover up my gun! Doesn't that cause things to be equal?

Perhaps some here would like to join my new group. I call it P.O.O.P. which stands for People Offended by Offended People. Our motto is "Your being offended is offensive to me".
Sign me up!
YEEHAW! Mess with me and I'm gonna bust a cap!
Whatever.
Now THAT'S how to OC! Hey NavyLT! You're shorter than I expected!
What are you calling the "high ready position"? most of the responding posts here seem to think you mean your walking around with your gun in your hand. Is that what you mean? I'm just trying to clarify.

One thing that amazes me is how heated and angry people can get about this issue. I don't care whether or not a person carries openly or concealed. It certainly has the advantage of a faster presentation. But the biggest argument I hear is that it is a deterrent to the perpetrator. I believe this may be true in the vast majority of cases, where you are dealing with an inidvidual who is rational and has his/her own self preservation as the top priority. However, after 29 years as a mental health professional, I can assure people making this argument that there are a bunch of people running around out there who do not meet this criteria. Just two isolated examples are those who want to commit suicide but don't have the guts to do it themselves (it used to be suicide by cop but we may begin seeing rare cases of suicide by open carry citizen---the actual number of people who have done this is obviously low, but there are recorded instances). Then there is the individual who has no plan to survive an assault (the spree killer or terrorist). These individuals would probably have the advantage of carrying concealed and then present their firearm when they are able to have the element of complete surprise. Open carry folks would try to convince me that they are not the first people that would be taken out by this last group. Huh? The argument will be "oh come on, what are the chances of this type of thing happening?" To that I say, don't carry a firearm at all----I mean, what are the chances that you will be the victim of any crime?----very low statistically. But are people willing to take the risk? For these reasons I do not open carry and will probably not do so unless someone can give me a better reason than comfort and my rights. I'm all about self preservation and I think the element of concealment improves those odds. But again, everybody has to decide for themselves.
