I've been carrying openly and concealed simultaneously since November 1st at 12:01AM and concealed since long before we were granted permission back in the '90's. So far, I have experienced absolutely ZERO static from anyone I see in public, with the exception of a few other CC'ers who see fit to step up and council me on the many tactical disadvantages of OC, ask me what I'm trying to prove or question the size of my personal parts.
My personal decision to carry openly is driven more by political reasons than a fear of becoming the victim of a bad guy. Maybe I'm the exception to the rule, but I've never been the victim of a violent crime and I don't walk in fear of being attacked. I am more worried about tyranny and when I try my best to courteously explain that to the CC'er who approaches me on the street with the aforementioned remarks, it's not long before I get a tin-foil hat response.
Have any others who have chosen to OC noticed that carrying openly gets more negative response from other CC'ers, than those who don't carry anything at all?
