Scenario: What would you do?

Badger Johnson evidently has a "need a permit to carry" mentality -- hence must be from a relatively "non-free" state. It's too bad that many people seem to think that OC requires a "permit".

Badger is aware that no permit is required to OC in Va. He doesn't actively engage in the practice (personal reasons he says) and can come across more than a little negative regarding different scenarios and OC.

While this site is primarily about open carry, it is pointedly about supporting/defending the choice to do so. There is no mandate that one must OC or for that matter carry at all. Does doing so add to one's credibility/image - I think so.

And that's what's great about this site. Don't have to hear the argument about whether OC or CC is better and all the flame wars you'll see on other gun forums.

My comment wasn't meant to be a personal attack. Just a snarky one. It was off topic and should have been ignored.

I kinda figured as much, but I was kind of cranky that evening. Apologies all around. Merry Christmas.

Just to be clear...
I should have clarified in my original post, but I did not; the instigators were not kids or young teenagers. From his description, there were four of them, they were in their early to mid 20's, and dressed in the "gangster wannabe" fashion, that is, sideway baseball caps, jeans hanging down to their knees, etc. Just wanted to clear that up in case anyone thought I was referring to literal kids, as in 12 year olds.

In my experience, they're not wannabe gangsters if they're in their mid 20's, they are gangsters! good choice in holster, and being mindful of the situation...I would have filed a police report on those punks.
