It is my opinion that that act of OCing is more effective in the fight for 2nd Amendment rights than the following:
Every time you OC, you are saying "NO" to the propaganda war that is waged against gun owners. People who OC are like a small army of ants that destroy the anti-gun ownership mythology that is presented in the media. When you OC, you cleanse your pathway of negative propaganda. Million dollar campaigns of negative propaganda can be effectively nullified at NO COST, simply by the actions of a few people who OC. The reason OC is an effective political act is because most of the people around you own and like guns. When they see you OC, they are emboldened to "come out of the closet".
However, I am not saying that you should not do items 1-5. When it comes to activism, do "all of the above".

- Writing letters to your congress person.
- Sending donations to political parties.
- Sending donations to 2nd Amendment organizations.
- Calling your congress person.
- Writing letters to the editor.
