Hey. So this is my first post here on this website.
I had my first encounter today while OCing. But not with the police. Since I received my LTCH, I carry most of the time. Normally concealed, but as it has been getting warmer and my difficult to conceal, I have been OCing.
This evening as I was making my normal mile walk thru the neighborhood with my dog ( I live in apartment) as i walk past my friend's place. She is a single 20s something women who has recently got a divorce and has been having problems with her ex. There was a man standing at her door, pounding and yelling. I cannot hear what she is yelling back but he responds "Go ahead and call the police" and contines to pound. At this point I am standing about 20 yards behind him and say "Sir, I think you should leave before I call the police". He turns around yells "Mind your own f***** business" and proceeds to walk towards me. He advances about 5 feet and looks like he is about to rush me when I see him glance at my weapon. He then stops and says "You should really mind your own business", then turns around walks to his car and leaves.
I consider this a positive encounter and the fact that I was OC might have prevented any violence. If anybody has any input on how I could have handled that in a better manner, I would appreciate a comment.
