I hear you.It's the disability that makes me feel "old." Here is a picture of me on a good day... my weekly day at the range. https://thepriceofliberty.org/2017/08/10/new-picture-of-mamaliberty/
Unless you can show proof of the camera now being inoperable, your statement must be viewed as being greatly exaggerated.Ugly old broad,

... People who OC are rarely victims of crime, very rare, unicorn rare. OTH many business that welcome OC are not normally victims of crime. I know of only one case in Virginia, and it did not work out so well for the armed robber, who probably did not even know that there was an OCer in the market. There were no incidence of violent crime at any place where OCT were carrying. There is a posted BBQ restaurant in Raleigh that is posted, it has been robbed numerous times. But there are studies of inmates in prison who come out and say that they avoid armed citizens, but that is hard to tell who is CCing, and who is not. Why sometimes CCers are targeted, even if they come out on top they are still a target....
Depends so much on where you live, mnrobitaille. Here in rural Wyoming, there isn't any business (that I know of) that cares the least one way or another. There are no "no guns" signs anywhere here. There used to be a few, but they've been gone for a long time now.
Most people here are armed, one way or another, and it is not remarkable in the least to see them. I carry openly everywhere I go, every day. Except the post awful... just don't go there at all.![]()
but every hospital/medical clinic, Costco, shopping mall, & movie theater is a victim-rich zone.
Pennsylvania has a VERY strong CC culture but if I see two OCers in a month I'd be surprised. Because it isn't common, there isn't a single business I can think of with "no firearms" signs. We don't have local police, and the closest state trooper barracks is 30 minutes away, so people born and raised here are accustomed to protecting themselves. Problem is we've had a huge influx over the last 10 years of liberals moving into the area. I'm pretty sure if I OCd into say Walmart, someone would call the police. Which of course would be fine because by the time they arrived I'd be back at home already cooking the groceries I just purchased. Funny how that doesn't seem to resonate with the anti gun crew. They prefer to jump on Facebook and complain about the growing drug problem and resulting crime.
Also interesting to me is we have a Castle Doctrine and Stand your ground but WITHOUT a disparity of force clause (although we have a bill in the House to add it under consideration).
:banana::monkey:banana::monkeyHello everyone. I'm a new member, but have been lurking for quite some time. I appreciate the (usually :lolintelligent and thoughtful discussions here.
I've CC'd for over 20 years, but never felt comfortable OCing. I never had confidence in my ability to fend off a real attempt to grab my firearm. But now that I'm...ahem... "well" into middle age I've been having conversations with my husband around me OCing while hiking and bike riding alone. He is all for it, believing that the deterrent is much more important than any advantage I get from CC. I would only OC in these situations where I'm not around crowds of people. I'm looking for other opinions. I know there are tons of badass women out there who could beat the crap out of any man who went for their weapon, and I'm no shrinking violet. But I am getting older and I need to be realistic.
So, the women who OC, does it ever cross your mind? And men, if your wife made the decision to OC, how would you feel about it? Thanks!!

We live in Texas and both have our License To Carry (a handgun). When my wife said she wanted to start carrying openly, I did my happy dance.

I have only had one incident with Wal Mart management. One of our former members knew the district manager and reported it to him. The store manager who caused the problem was no longer working for Wal Mart within less than seventy-two hours.
Seems like an excellent educational tool to me. I doubt that he will forget very soon.While one does not want a lower level manager deciding policy according to their bias, is it not better to re-educate and get the person on the side of rational self-defense interest instead of getting them 'let go' and remaining an enemy to the 2A and OC?
If possible, I'd suggest it's a better plan to make a friend and not take any glee (not saying you did) in getting someone let go because of them being ignorant of policy or reactionary needlessly.
What, if you can say, exactly happened in WM with this manager?
I have NO sympathy for any employee not knowing company policy, none.While one does not want a lower level manager deciding policy according to their bias, is it not better to re-educate and get the person on the side of rational self-defense interest instead of getting them 'let go' and remaining an enemy to the 2A and OC?

What doe this mean?some how i seriously this specific event led to the Mgr. being let go, but perhaps was the straw which broke the proverbial camel's back...
