So are the negative reactions few and far between? I've only been carrying for a few days (literally!) I've been concealing but really like the idea of OC, but have just been kinda nervous about having it out there. Given the current political environment, have people made a fuss about openly armed civilians just going about their day? I would really love to hear about more of your interactions with the random people, to help me make a more informed decision about OC. I'm sure I'll eventually just not care about what people say...
Well to be honest with you its not so much people are intending to be negative its just that Open Carry is still new. Up until recently the word gun alone was enough to send people running as if the devil was after them. But as the older generation is moving up in years we are seeing the younger generation come in to call and they are seeing first hand the crimes of the land. Rapes, robberies, murder you name it kids are being exposed to it more then ever.
With this in mind as these kids become adults they are realizing more then ever that the only way to fight crime is to simply stop it where it starts and thats when the crime is committed.
Having been in fire fights I can tell you they are nothing anyone should even hope to be in but when they do seconds really count. I can draw a firearm and present it faster then I can dial 911 let alone wait on the police to get there minutes later.
Overall most people are coming to realize this and as a result its becoming more appreciated and accepted then ever before in history. There are though still the holdouts who believe that showing a criminal love and compassion will make the world a safer place.
