I decided to OC as I prefer it to CC, for a number of reasons, it is usually more comfortable, my firearm is easier to access, political awareness, etc.
The first time I OC'ed, I was a little apprehensive, as I was constantly measuring the reactions of people. This goes away, I have met little resistance from others about my OC'ing, and those who do confront me, are usually more inquisitive than admonishing.
The nervousness goes away after a few times, at least for me it did. You have to know what you are doing is perfectly legal (depending where you are of course), and while I am respectful of the opinions of others (most of the time), I am not going to change my responsible mode of carry because others are uncomfortable from time to time.
Open carry certainly can help you to be more flexible in certain situations.
Welcome to the forum, I am sure you will have no problem finding people who can help you in your decision to OC here. There are of course times when OC can get you unwanted attention from ill informed sheeple, however I would not let this deter you from excersing your 2A rights.
Let us know what you decide and how it goes!
