I think you have the right idea here. Everyone seems to be geared towards scenario 1 or 2, and 1 or 2 only. I think it definitely will depend on the criminal. I'm just going to carry owb and never think twice about it. If it shows, it shows, if it doesn't it doesn't. Obviously come August next year I will have to keep it concealed at school, and for that I have a galco king tuck. It is actually pretty dang comfortable for a commander size 1911, and actually the more it breaks in the better it gets. It actually is just fine for me in the car.stingeragent wrote:Ok, first off I know this has been posted on here before. I tried to search for it , but the search kept telling me "open carry" is too common and I need to try again. Then tried "who is going to oc" and it said I can't use words with less than 3 letters. So I gave up and here I am. I still am on the fence about to OC or not. I think I can see it going a few different ways.
1. You walk into a gas station. A future robber sees your gun and decides to try some place else
2. You walk into a gas station. A future robber sees your gun and decides to shoot you first.
Really hard to tell which scenario will take place. I am sure there are a lot of robbers out there that carry guns but have no intention of using them unless things go south. What's been going through my head, is would the presence of an OC gun deter them or not. I think what I'm thinking is, I'll do a 50/50 approach. Use an outside waist band holster, but still keep my shirt over it. Problem I've had with IWB ( maybe it's just my holster ), can't find a position that is comfortable sitting in the car. I think an OWB holster would solve this. I've also thought about the implication of someone trying to grab your in plain sight hand gun. How do you prevent that short of having a holster strap?
