I think it would be just as wise to address OCers courteously.. If you ask people ignorant questions, you have left the ball in their court so don't be a whiner and cry about the reply you recieved.. GRIN AND BEAR IT !!

Why is you daughter not wearing a bra?
Why is your wife overweight?
Why don't you drive a pickup?
Above all, why do you feel it's permissible to accost strangers in public with personal questions?
I loathe intrusive people and owe them only minimal civility.

I'll agree there, certainly.
It is one thing to talk to someone about something, in this case, talk to an OCer in regards to their weapon. There are better ways to go about asking someone if they are a cop without trying to see if they're a "prick" or "entitled".
I recent attended a dinner here in NC and a patron that was eating with his family turned around and kind of jokingly and appropriately got our attention by stating something like "I'm not trying to listen in on your conversation but I noticed the guns. Are you all law enforcement or are you carrying openly because you can?"
Now, all the OCer's found that appropriate and we responded appropriately, "because we can" and we followed up quickly with information and laws to back up that statement, which the OP would perhaps have considered abad statement to make but the gentleman was appreciative of the information and he had more questions for us. Everything was cool as cool heads prevail.

Why is you daughter not wearing a bra? I had to buy ammo. A bra is expensive.
Why is your wife overweight? So I can stand behind her when I shoot.
Why don't you drive a pickup? It was this gun or the truck. I got the gun.
Sorry could not resist answering.

I never could understand why people would come up and ask such questions. I mean what right do they have to question your lifestyle. If what someone is doing does not infringe on me or I don't see them harming someone I don't bother them.
I guess you just can't fix stupid.

Usually when someone stares at a persons firearm, then looks at them and the first words out of their mouth are "Are you a cop?"
Any futureinteractionis already going downhill, rapidly.
I would be willing to betthat most ofthe people that get asked the "Are you a cop"will quickly hear "Then why are you carrying a gun?" shortly after answering that they are not a cop.
In nearly every instance like this, the person asking the questionswillstart usinga barrage of statements that are aimed at doing nothing but trying to belittle that person for exercising his/her 2A rights.
Maybe the guy just expected the same from you by the tone of disgust for cops which was present your voice, or your body language and figured he would just end the conversation right there. and not give you a chance to be a dick about it.
Lets look at this from his side, he is an area well known for liberal entitlement professionals. And he has some young college kid working at a convenience store(Which has entitlement written all over his face)giving him crap.
How would you respond?
In a state like Ohio, I bet the guy who was O-C'ing gets crap like that all the time.
