By extreme , I meanOC full time all the time, OC while at work, and off work, at play, while shopping, at church, on my bicycle, while fishing, on my motorcycle, basically "everywhere" except to get the US mail at the post office.
Tally of Neg vs Pos comments is about 95% Pos+ to 5% Neg-
I OC at work, I manage a large shopping center with 25 stores.
I am lucky because I actually need a weapon as I work many times at night.
I encounter day and night harmless transients, drunks, plus meth zombies, the mentally ill, squads of rowdy teens, parolees, wannabee tuff guys, real life tuff guys, pissed of husbands and boy friends, illegal aliens, racists from minority groups, wannabee gang members, and real gang members.
It's not that bad as I am from Los Angeles and SanDiego were there is hard core low life, but it is bad enough because I cannot allow low life to ruin the shopping experience of normal people and cannot allow anyone to break any laws or loiter ( I hate being a "mall cop" ) but it is one of the hats I wear and switch into moment by moment.
I am OC even when I do landscape maintenance, when I strip down to only shorts and shoes on a 100 degree day out in the parking lot and dig irrigation trenches there is a .45 on a Bianchi Ranger security locking quilk release holster, when I paint, when I pick up trash when I do any and everything at work I OC.
The Pos vs Neg is interesting because most of the neg feedback or non complimentary comments are not even directed to me
Example: The ladies who are the door greeters and membership checkers as BiMart tell me that when I am out front painting or pressure washing or doing any active work out in front of the store , they say they get a few comments from people coming into the store , Concerned citizen; "There is a man with a gun outside the door"
Store Employee; "whats he doing ? " Citizen; " He is painting" LOL , Employee; " That is Steve the manager of the mall", Citizen " Why doe she have a gun" and then they inform them in many different ways with differing comments such as " It is legal in Oregon " or " That is Steve he is the manager of the mall" or "He is a one of the goods guy's " .
So basically the negativity or "overly concerned" actions are behind my back.
You and even see people walk by and their eyes get big, the most neg looks come from two diametrically apposed gender and age groups, 1) old ladies and 2) young masculine tough looking younger men, both of these groups are more than likely to feel offended to threatened, why I can only guess.
That's my report for EX OC for Aug, lol
