Well I have alot to say about this subject. I too CC and OC but one of the reasons given "I dont want to draw attention to myself" OK lets go with that one. People do things that draw attention ALL the time, cars they drive, motorcycles they ride, clothes they wear, hair color ect, so that doesnt fly with me. Another one, "it will make you a target" Really? how about a purse or cell phone, the car you drive, motorcycle you ride, shoes you wear, jewlery, all can make you a target. "it scares people" so what, men and women didnt die for peoples feelings. The Anti-Americans have made the gun into something evil, something we should hide, so OC reverses this as more and more people OC, going about their daily lives. It shows we are a free society (at least for now). So the big question, what does CC do to promote the Second Amendment? IMHO, nothing. I realize that the first reason for carrying a gun is for self protection, but we are in a fight right now and I believe we need to be on offense, we dont need to cower because it might make someone uncomfortable, we dang sure dont need to listen to some of the so-called experts telling us things like "you lose your element of surprise" HMM, when the stuff hits the fan, anybody thats there will be the one surprised. Its not hard to learn I am a huge proponent of OC. It is Liberty in a nutshell, and I will bet, the more people start to do it, the more people will realize its really not a big deal, only a few make it one and most comes from the CC only crowd.
