I have been OC'ing for over a year now.
Today I have commited myself to OpenCarry while in uniform.
I will only do this if:
1. I am off of the installation.
2. I am going somewhere after or before my duty and I have not been able to change into civilian clothes of changing is unfeasable.
3. I will use a personalholster that is a commonly used in Iraq and Afghanistan but is not one that I signed for from the military andis notowned by the military.
The bottom line is this, I and all others in the military who can legally carry a firearm have to right to defend ourselves if we are incivilian clothes or in uniform.
My argument for this if there is one to be had. Major Hasan, and PVT William Long in Arkansas. Military members have become targets of attacks.
WhenI leave my work and pass throughthose post gatesI am acting asa private citizen. If am at wal-mart buying groceries, I am not buying them for or as a representative of the armed forces.
