I was OCing a few weeks ago and a friend of mine with a CPL made a very sharp comment about OC being a terrible idea. I asked him to elaborate, and he did.... man he did! He said it was a terrible idea for tactical reasons, it made me look like a nut-job, it turned people off to carry of weapons in general, said it would cause places to put up signs prohibiting guns (preventing him from CCing), and also being a childish thing to do to "get a rise" out of the boys in blue. After a moment of trying to figure out what just happened, I addressed each point to my satisfaction. Another friend of ours with a CPL joined in and was on the fence between us. Some more points came up which I will get to in later posts, but I am curious if anyone else has been lectured by someone with a CPL like this. It really surprised me.
