I have been OCing here in seal beach now for over three weeks now, and I have only had one run in with the local police, and it was very un eventful, quick and easy. The businesses around here have never said anything, most of the folks here seem to not even mind at all. I had only one run in with what I think was a retired female police officer. She was telling me how it was only a matter of time before I was killed because of me OCing. I tried in vain to tell her some of the reasons why I would be less likely to be approached by a bad guy, but she wasnt buying it. I told her I can load and be ready in under three seconds, and I bet it would take her longer to reach down under the table to get her weapon out of her purse than me to be ready. I also told her that it was unlikely for a bad guy to see me with what he would only asume was loaded, than an un armed person to try to rob him. I also deture crime due to me OCing daily. I love this town. I have even talked to some business owners and they would have no problem with some OCers having a meet here. I am going what I can to educate the public and others about open carry. I have even had a few public persons ask me about it and they say it is great that someone is finally doing what we have the right to do. they have even asked about the web site after some conversations. 98% of everyone I talk to is fine with me OCing here. I do plan some OC events in Long Beach, because of the high gay comunity there, I am just waiting for someone to ask me about my gun, so I can tell them about my rights as well. We'll see. I am a daily OCer have no plans to stop now.
