Hay all, I was pointed in your direction by another buddy here on the forum (esstac) and I have to say you all are doing a great job.
I've been living here in Spokane for 3 1/2 years ( Moved from the SF east bay of CA... NOT ANOTHER ONE FROM CA!! I know, I know, go ahead and give me crap, I know its coming ) and I have to say I really do love WA without a doubt since I'm able to exercise MOST my rights here,unlike CA. Before I came here I thought CC & OC was only in the movies and stories told to children to give them false hope that the constitution really does exist and as Americans we have rights even if your not LE.
Today was my first OC, I walked to my mail box which is about 350 yards away and is on a pretty busy street ( bowdish ) . Now I know that doesn't seem like much but remember I'm a guy who was raised in a state where they say the only reason why you need a sidearm for is if your a gang member or plan on robbing someone so OC is VERY alien to me.
I don't know if this has even been brought up on the forums and if so I'm very sorry. Now Im only 5'5" & 125 pounds ( Huge I know, get it all the time LOL ) so CC is pretty hard for me even if I had a 1 round darringer. When I try and CC my 226 9mm it bulges my shirt pretty bad, so unless I wear a sweater in the summer time or over sized clothes ( so I would look like a "thug" or "trouble maker" now:quirky ) it really wouldn't be CC as everyone would know I have a sidearm. I know there are other sidearms out there that would work better for CC but I don't want "those other sidearms" I want my 226 not a 225 or a revolver, ect.. so I guess you could say I will be OCing from now on by default do to my body size. So now the question I would like to ask you guys is " Am I right to want a weapon I feel comfortable with in all aspects and trust or should I just deal with it and buy a weapon that I may not like just so I can CC it? "
Many Thanks,
Paul
