Hello everyone,
My name is Santosh! Now I have a dilemma when it comes CC or OC. I know I want to carry a handgun to help protect myself if the occasion ever arises. I hunt and fish, sometimes in places that don't always attract the best types of people. I have been around guns most of my life, so they are no stranger to me...I know to never draw and point a firearm unless I intend to use it. My dilemma is due to my skin color. I am of Indian descent (not Native American "indian"...but bollywood, curry, India "indian"). I am born in raised in this great country of ours. Of course, I people of Arabic descent and people of Indian descent look very similar. I also speak with a slight accent. I would prefer to OC, as I feel that OC can prevent a crime from ever happening if the criminal or assailant knows another person is carrying...but I was wondering if I would get unintentionally or...gasp...intentionally harassed due to my brown skin color and appearance if I were to OC. Would i be better off just CC'ing to avoid hysteria?
BTW, I plan on getting my CHL anyways. Looking forward to your guys input!
