[QUOTE="Sixpack73, post: 2347383, member: 31578"] I've seen several in just the last couple of months here in the west OKC, Yukon, Mustang area. One at Oreilly's, a couple at Walmart, one at Mama Mo's pizza. And I've personally oc'd at Chick fil-a and Home Depot as well. In a retention holster of course. So the oc'ers are out there but I think many are still either worried about reactions (never had a bad one myself) or think OC'ing is wrong, preferring CC instead. I know I was a bit nervous the first time I tried it. I will say though, that finding a thumb break holster isn't always easy depending on your model of gun. I had to do a lot of searching before I found a Desanti for my Walther PPS. I really like the hidden hybrid holsters but they don't offer a retention strap :(. That is what I use when I cover up with a shirt or jacket. So demand for thumb break holsters for civilians apparently isn't that high yet or there would be more options out there. Hopefully that all will change soon. I prefer open carry for a couple reasons: 1. I personally think it helps with public perception when people see an armed citizen and nothing bad happens. Double points if you are very polite and they remember the nice person they ran into today at the store who was carrying. 2. In some cases, it can deter trouble from ever happening. 3. It is typically more comfortable for me. [/QUOTE]
