Hi, Im new to the site and new to OC. I have carried in the past while hunting and camping and often carry my cheapo 9mm Llama unloaded and holstered when traveling. I have been wanting to get a CCW for some time now, mostly for the trainning, but I am planning on OC most of the time. My reason being that I have had a few bad experiences in the past where a OC gun would have defused or helped avoid the situation, but more than that, I live in and am often around areas with bobcats/moutain lions... having a 3yr old that likes to run off often concerns me. Esp with the increased number of rabies cases lately.
Anyway, I am learning a ton from this site and thought I would introduce myself. I also have a few questions.... First off, I am not the most clean cut of guys. Im 22, have quite a few exposed tattoos, often where biker/harley shirts and jeans, and being a ex-bodybuilder (allbeit a now overweight one! haha), I think I give off an intimidating vibe. I expect that I may get some unwanted attention from LEOs as well as concerned citizens. Im wondering if you have any advice for dealing with these encounters. I am always friendly and more likely to walk away from a confrontation than to antagonize one, but I would like to be prepared if someone asks me legit questions about OCing, esp in the case of Law Enforcement. Any advice?
Also, I decided to purchase a new holster for my 9mm Llama (a temporary gun until I can afford something better suited for carrying... its mostly been a plinker). Its a little late to change my mind on buying it, but I wanted to see if this would make a good holster for OC:

Thanks for your advice and I look forward to making some new friends and resources!
