Yesterday afternoon at a grocery store another customer in there asked what kind of 1911 I had and it evolved into a conversation about guns. He says he respects OC and isn't a CC-only zealot but prefers CC. I made a comment like, "yeah in this area it's good to carry either way" He responded, "yeah, I grew up in this area, a lot of people know me, good and bad. I don't OC because a lot of these folks out here, unemployed or drug addicts, will watch me. They know I have a gun, you gotta think they know I have more guns at the house (which I do). They realize I have to leave the house to goto work etc, and they'll break in. Mind you I have a big pitbull and other guns in a safe but I don't want to give them an incentive to want to try and rob me when I'm not home."
I don't even know the neighbors in my cul-de-sac, and my whole side of the cul de sac is unoccupied except for my house. (left and right door neighbors foreclosed houses, and 2 doors down the house burned down completely)...I just think he brought up an interesting point that I never thought about or even heard from the Pro-CC crowd who always say, "element of surprise" "doesn't alarm other people" etc.
