Ground Chuk,
I just was just going over some of my old posts and just now read your reply. I'm sorry to imply that one should only open carry if they are dressed professionally. No law abiding person should be hassled for OCing no matter what they look like. What I was trying to get across was that people will pre-judge someone based simply on how they look. If you don't mind that great, some folks like myself want to project a kind of "preacher" look so that someone's first impression of OCer's is a good one. This opens folks up for disscussions.

The bank robbery rate is kept at the FBI 'Bank Crime Statistics'. "Most likely" is a rate comparison.

Man, I just found this site and think I am in heaven right now. I carry in the bank(cc) all the time and and just had a very good discussion on Fri with the manager at the branch I frequent. It is not posted, but the main office is. She couldn't tell me why, but the conversation was good. I was actually getting a loan for my business, so I was definitley a good guy to her. I am planning to oc at another bank I go into for my church when I am dressed up sometime. Just oc'd for the first time on Sat at my barber shop. It went well so I will continue to do so more often when the situation is good. Glad I found you guys.

3) Professional Appearance – Nothing projects professionalism like a pressed collared shirt. Wear a tie and slacks if appropriate. You want the public to see that you are an upstanding citizen.


BecauseMOST of the mass murders, serial killers and the like,are long haired, non-professionally dressed people. Like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, that dude at the Amish school. Cretein looking individuals, and we should have known, just by looking at them.

And that Cho fellow. How could we have not known by the way he dressed and looked?

Oh, but wait. It seems most of these people had a "Professional Appearance".

Not sure I understand that. I guess, considering I have long hair, don't dress like a "professional" and play in a seriously heavy metal band, I'm one that shouldn't be carrying. Hmm, the State of Ohio didn't have a problem issuing me my CHL.

Oh, wait, perhaps the State was wrong, since I don't fit the "status quo" in appearance. I guess there needs to be a law stating that Freedom of Expression and the act of Individualism should be outlawed, that way we all look alike, act alike, and overall ARE alike. Wouldn't that be fun!

Putting a lot of words in people's mouths there...if you're as metal-looking as you say then you should know better than most that your appearance DOES make a difference in the first impression people (and especially officers) get of you. If an officer asks to talk to you and you say "of course" instead of immediately becoming combative and demanding to know the reason, you're much more likely to be on your way within a minute or two at most. How you talk is part of your appearance too, not just how you look. Always be courteous and compliant...unless you're about to get beat down for no reason or something, the courtroom is a much better place to fight the officer than the street.

Before I got laid off, I did most of the company banking. Carried concealed to at least four different banks in Rocky River. None of them posted. My bank isn't posted either.
