LOL thank ya:banana:...but I was referring to LEO and snoopy citizens giving problems about OCing in general:lol:

Welcome TA!

When you get a minute, stop on by the NC forums (down in the States area) and enter the fray.

As far as females carrying, I know of no data to support any notion of them getting harassed any more or less than males.

If everyone had a Schwartz, and of equal size, then the world would be a better place.

Ironically, as OC advocates, we have to be more docile and more calm and give up the right to be abrasive and confrontational if we want to continue with this practice.

You'll see this occasionally in police officers. It's de-escalation. Verbal Aikido. When deadly weapons are present it's easier to be the bigger man and walk away because the other person will look like a tool. And obviously, the other person isn't wrapped very tightly if they don't have sense of mind to argue with an obviously armed man.

We're a few years beyond needing to club each other to death with sticks.

hi Im new and female....do women have more or less problems OCing?

Welcome, new! Er, "Twiztid Angel!"

From what I gather, females are accosted by LEO much less often for legal OC than are males. Something about cops' "man+gun=trouble" mindset that seems to have been programmed into them during their stint at the academy.

When I began open carry, I thought I'd have all sorts of conflicts. To date, not really. Just a couple of benign discussions.

I have a Taurus judge...45/410

Ok. Pondering the benefits of either charge, I'd have to side with the .45. .410 is geared towards small game i.e. rabbit, grouse, etc. While in close quarters it might not be very pleasant, if you can fire a .45 JHP round from your Judge, I'd do that. Better stopping power. Please practice at the range with that load, and often. Just my 2 cents.

The 410 that I have is specifically designed for the judge made by Winchester it is the PDX1....holds a close pattern in close quarters ..... it has 3 41mm roundish disks instead of birdshot or other similar shot. At 7 foot around 2-3 inch spread and at 15 foot about 3-4 inch spread.

Here is the vid on how it spreads....its truly an awesome load.
