Good article.

Having the police point a gun at my head for simply OCing was unnerving and I shudder to think what would have happened if things didn't go exactly as they did. Especially since the officer didn't identify himself as an officer. I feel strongly that your points need to be brought to life and our police departments need strong adjustment to the overall mentality.

Good article! I am more fearful of being wrongly shot by police for openly carrying a weapon, than I am of meeting up with a criminal! In fact, I strongly suspect I have met many criminals over the decades, and I just as strongly suspect the vast majority of criminals will beat feet when they observe anyone openly carrying a firearm.
