I have been in this forum constantly for the past 3 weeks just reading stories, learning opinions, and understanding the mindset of people who daily OC. Personally i do not own any guns yet (Sadly, 25 year old Triple Majoring Poor College Student) but i expect in the next month or two I will be buying one of my own. My mind has recently been awash as I have watched The Largest Gang in America and alot of Open Carry youtube videos, and i've just felt some sort of way about it.
In my mind as far as I know it I am glad for Open Carriers as quite a few people get to feel something that they may not have been unhappily "privy" to, and that is being discriminated against, which is effectively what OC reports really boil down to. I've seen so many videos of it, and they usually churn my stomach, just because its so easy for someone who doesnt know you to disrespect you and try to put his hands on you with you effectively being helpless in the situation.
I've come from three different countries so I guess it might give me maybe a little different perspective of how things are in different locations. But for now honestly for quite some time I have not felt safe, its only been recently (maybe the past 9-12 months) that I have felt like I expect more of myself, and would never want an unfortunate situation to happen in my presence and I am just at the whims of someone else.
