First of all, let me say that it does not bother me a bit to see someone OCing. It's just not for me. I have CC'd for nearly 20 years with my LTCH, and am the type that will not let anyone know that I am CCing except for my closest friends.
I had to laugh internally tonight as some passengers in the bus I was driving brought up the subject of guns. Some are for, and some are against, and the subject comes up with this group about once a year during our weekly outings. While I stated my pro 2A position on the matter and contributed to the conversation, I never mentioned that I was carrying at the time. You can call me a chicken if you want, but I did not want to alarm others in the group that I was armed. They are my good friends regardless of what their position on 2A might be. I simply take the concealed part of CC to heart.
Tonight the subject came up twice with the group I was leading, as well as the leader of another group. Again, I was happy to take my part in the conversation and express my pro 2A views, but I never disclosed the fact that I was armed. I am satisfied with the idea that they don't need to know and will not find out unless I actually have to use my firearm to defend myself or one of them.
Sometimes I feel like CC actually stands for Closet Carrier!
I would like to hear from anyone else who CC's regularly, but never let's anyone know. Is there anyone else out there like me?
