I support OC & CCW.
I obtained my CCW to give me another option to carry. I don't view it as better or worse. I do carry OC and CCW; depends upon the circumstances and my comfort level.
As for stats; they can always be construed/spun to mean whatever you want....ie politicians do it frequently. I think the LEO stats are interesting; but I find it hard to cross them over to civilians. It provides interesting conversation, but beyond that, it's anyones interpretation.
As for CCW instructors, mine wasn't against OC; however, they didn't promote it either. Their opinion was CCW is easiest and their preferred method. I have heard Mr. Canovi during several of his classes address OC as your preference; however, he would make some comments based upon the concerns he had. I have also heard his associates make comments that really didn't promote OC, but never did I hear them say it illegal. If one were listening, one would interpret their comments as a negative to OC, not direct comments but just their indirect comments, which is what I believe is just their opinion.
Many have pro's and con's for OC/CCW. If one believes their thinking is the only right one....I've got news for you....yikes!!
YMMV!
