Sounds insane doesnt it? Well turns out my friends and even my family are anti oc.
The more time goes by, the more I'm beginning to realize this. My own dad told me a few days ago, "only cowards carry a gun". Honestly, i was both shocked, and a bit disgusted. Especially since i was carrying when he said that. My friends also say similar things, and the rest of my family are against me carrying, saying things like "you'll never shoot anyone" and "the only people who carry guns are the people that cant fight for themselves".
Honestly its a little discouraging. In a way it makes me want to just leave my piece at home, or in the car. Me and my girlfriend both oc. We dress clean, behave appropriately, nothing to give the idea that we are doing it to be "punks" or for show. We do it to exercise our 2nd amendment rights, and if the situation ever came up, we would be able to protect ourselves, and have the means to do so.
In saying that, I'm curious to know how everyone's family and friends treat you as an OC'er. Do they support you?
What could you say to anti oc people to get them to understand where you are coming from?
