I recently spent about 5 hours over the last couple of days reading all the stories from everyone's OC experiences and generally most of them were positive with the exception of a few horror stories about misinformed LEO's and some in the general public that hit the panic button for no reason.
I do understand peoples reactions as we just live in that kind of world these days unfortunately. I also am happy to see that people are OC'ing because the law says that we can. I have to ask though is it worth it ? I understand that we can and it's good that we can but is the potential hassle worth it ? I myself have a CPL/CCW and am proud to have one. I assume it's a matter of choice to the individual, but for me I just don't want to be bothered most of the time. It's nice that I have the option to OC should I choose to, but from the stories I read it seems like it would be inviting attention that I really would rather not have. Just my 2 cents, I would like to hear anyone's thoughts on this. Am I misguided in my thoughts or am I just becoming a cranky old man not wanting to be bothered ?
