I remember watching a show. I think it was called 30 days. It had a lady who was anti gun stay with a pro gun family for 30 days. They had her carry a bb gun in a holster to see what it was like and get comfortable with it.
Why not if you are new and have that fear for the first time. For a few days get a bb gun or airsoft pistol(cheaper than a bb gun). Wear it around to a few places you frequent alot. That way if you are stopped by a leo or anyone,you are not carrying a real weapon. You can both laugh about it and you have the chance to open up adiscussion aboutopen carry. Maybe even make a friend.
Or just oc you real gun and when you have to enter a place where you may feel nervious switch it out with the airsoft gun until you get more comfortable. You may even find that once is enough when no one comfronts you. Just don't forget which you are carrying. Of course the weigh should be a clue.
You think being stopped by a leo can make you nervious. Try having a 8 year old stop you and question you. They are tougher than cops.
Maybe even those who don't like oc should try it. They may find out it is not that big of a deal and nothing to fear when they see someone who is oc.
Just an idea. May not be for everyone. I am not doing it and I am new to oc. But it may help to aliviate thefear for some who are new to oc.
