Howdy Folks,
I am from down here in southern oregon on the coast. I am 18 years old and just started OCing a few days ago. Now i have been living on my own and raising a kid since i was 16. I would say i personally think i am very mature enough too OC. I carry a 9mm semi auto on me in a black uncle mikes hip holster. The last few days around town i have been very surprised when watching everyones reactions too my firearm. Most people do not even notice, for i just go about my own business and do not make it a big deal. The few people that do notice are all differnt. You have your people that give you a nasty look, the ones who do nothing at all, and the ones that make a hurry too get out of your way. . . . . Besides the one older gentleman who talked too me today which leads too my story.
So today i ran a few towns over too pick up a load of hay for my horses. On my side like always i had my 9mm. On the way back too home i stopped at our local quick stop called circle k. When i was inside i was going about my own business when i noticed an older gentleman giving me a curious look. I smiled and said hi and went about my shopping. When i got in line he happend too get in directly behind me. He said hello and we started too talk. He asked me. .. Have you ever heard the saying "An Armed Society Is A Peaceful One" i said no. We talked a little more and i told him that is why i OC'd. I told him how people i know are against it. Like i said too him, it does not hurt anyone i go about my business as i normally would and if for whatever reason i needed it its there. There is only good that comes from it in my eyes he agreed the same and i learned he carried concealed.
Now ever since i talked too that nice old man the saying he told me has stuck in my mind. "An Armed Society Is a Peaceful One." This is so true. If more people OC'd enough too where there was at least one armed citizen in every store and around town the criminals would be too scared too make a problem. I think this saying just fits perfectly into the cause we are all joined together in. Just thought i would share.
Thank you. . Zach
