Hello,

New to the forum. Just wanted to stop in and say hello. My carry guns are a Ruger SR9c, M&P full sized, or every great once in a while a 1942 Remington rand 1911. I have been reading a little bit on the forum about oc. I have done it a little bit in the Cottage Grove area and have not recieved any negitive reactions. I open carry because I believe you can not educate the public on something they can not see. I am happy to be on the forums. Feel free to ask any questions you may have or throw a PM my way if you would like to grab a cup of joe or something sometime if your in the area.

Thanks

Welcome to OCDO boom - your absolutely right on the educational value of OC. Just seeing a gun carried by a LAC will stimulate conversation + there is the deterrent value.

Spent a lot of time in Minnesota as a kid - great memories, beautiful country.

I am from the Chaska area, roughly 40 mins from Cottage Grove. I have not done any OC before, just conceal but would like to work my way into it. I would be interested in doing a meet up if anyone wants to, let me know.
