So I was visiting my grandparents in in PA, and while my grandpa and I are both avid shooters and probable have about 50 guns between us, he is still iffy about my OC as he is not used to seeing it even though he lives out in the hills of central PA. He actually brought up a good "what if" question and I do not think it has been asked before so lets see what everyone thinks...
He said ...What if someone (anti-gun) sees you OCing and it really really bothers them to the point of them calling the police on you and say you "threatened them with a gun" even though it would be a blatant lie as you are just minding your own business with gun in plain sight ?? Granted they would have to make up a full fledged story and go through alot of hassle to get you arrested for it, but lets assume the following....
They may or may not verbally express their dislike for your OC, or possibly not say anything at all to you!
You are out in a store or public place with no cameras or witnesses and you are alone.
In alot of states you can get bracelets for just someone making up a story to get you busted until you prove your side. Just think of how many domestic violence cases are like this as well as a female crying rape etc when no such event occurred.
Now I have OC'ed up here in NW Indiana for about 5 years with no negative encounters whatsoever, even after only seeing another two people total in that 5 years OCing as well so at least in my general area it is not very prevalent. I just would like to hear what "could" happen if it really got some anti's panties in a bunch and they really would go through something drastic like that . It would be hard to prove a "he said, she said" without any witnesses etc
Sorry if this post is confusing at all, if you need clarification just ask
