Can you show me where this has happened in any state that already allows OC?

OC is nothing new, this country was founded by men that openly carried and they didn't even know it was controversial.

I will wait at least 6 months before I OC, if even then. But if I do, this coming summer, I will be carrying my G17 (which I now CC) or my Remington 1911 Govt. Will shop for holsters in the late spring.

Next year I will have had my CHL for 20 years. I haven't needed to OC in the first 20 so I probably won't need to in the future. I perfer not to be a target by either LE or bad guys.

Very nice, indeed. I might be interested in getting one of my own. What make and model is the holster?

I keep telling myself that OC is not for me, but just in case, I got a Ruger Gp100 Match Champion back in November and I have a rig on order from Black Hills Leather. I hope it is here by Jan 1st. Just in case. :lol:

Yesterday, I swore no OCing for me.

Today, ah, maybe...

I'm sneaking up on the idea.

If I thought it'd give some heartburn to the MDA types, It might be worth it just to accomplish that mission.

I do wonder, though not required by law, but will many, or even any, be OCing not using a retention holster?

Whenever I make my decision, I will be getting a retention holster.

I really like the looks of TAM's, but I wonder if the thumb break might dig into my onery hide...?

Not sure if I will OC much or not, but will definitely be wearing some nice OWB holsters for full size semi & revolvers. Finally will carry a XD mod.2 9mm and a S&W K-66 .357 as EDC options.
