Something to consider before you decide to OC

[CorpsVet]

Although it is rare, humans sometimes find themselves in confrontations that do not rise to a need for self defense. Never the less, the parties can become very angry and vengeful.

If one is OC, the other party will be aware of the weapon and if there are no other witnesses it would be easy to claim that the weapon was drawn and pointed at him.

It would be your word against his, and there would be no question that a gun was present.

Just something to think about.

this is Massad Ayoobs main point against OC, and I agree completely.

Yeah.......about that.....

That's like a teenager saving his virginity for Lindsay Lohan. The odds are 1:1,000,000 but it'll never actually happen.

I don't disagree with this, but I could also get struck by lighting. Anything is possible.

Court case citations, oh I don't know, how about any case where someone has been falsely accused of a crime.

There are some folks that offer training(actual LEO's, Military, and so on) that consider OC to be detrimental to your safety.
OC gives up your tactial advantage by the bad guy knowing who has a weapon.
We can work this scenerio a dozen different ways, but the actual court cases might be a good way to start.
I suspect there aren't many? Perhaps some of our members that are versed in looking up legal stuff might help?
