I don't understand the infatuation some people have that want to walk around showing their gun, as if saying look at me. It borders on bizarre. As long as one is able to carry, who cares.

I have no intention of OCing. A gun on my hip is for protection, it is not a "look at me" banner nor is it compensation for anything other than the fact that I'm not 25 and fighting fit anymore. The last thing I want is for some stranger to take a special interest in my gun, like someone asking you what time it is so they can determine if your watch is worth stealing (yes, it has happened to me). As far as WB asking customers to not OC goes I suspect we'll see a lot of that across the state for a few years. Big deal. I'll continue to walk past 30.07 signs all day long though a 30.06 sign will lose my business for good.

To the people that feel it is all or nothing and to OCTC, GET OVER IT! And please stop making it worse for everyone...

Their carefully worded statement tells the world we don't want guns to impact our business so if you conceal carry we won't know or care. I completely understand what they are doing.

I think we'll see more of the same. OC gets asked to leave, CC is fine.
