Alright fellas, here is what’s on my mind. Some of you know I’m planning on coming to the meetup in July, and I’ll be OCing for the first time in public. That kind of had me thinking about the different kind of situations I could find myself in while OCing. I’ve been trained on & carried a side arm in the military (years ago), but this of course is completely different.
I guess my main concern is this – say I’m out in public with or without my family and some bad guy decides to rob the store I’m in or a person that’s close by to me with a gun/knife/bat (does it matter?). If I’m not being directly threatened, do I act? Does the person being threatened have to be in fear of his life for me to act? If something bad happens because I didn’t act, could I be charged with something? Are these subjects covered in – dare I say – CCW classes?
I said this before in a previous post, but please excuse my noobness if this kind of thing has been discussed before…
