Hey Ingo,
Although I have carried for years(CC), I have recently started OCing, as much a political statement as it is a comfort and ease reason... Because I can....
So, I have had a few people ask me, (really an amazingly few number over the past two months) Unfortunately it comes unexpectedly as I am not really looking for the question and it has now become almost second nature to do so (OC) , and therefore I hesitate and may stumble searching for a response....
I am NOT looking for Pithy, or sarcastic responses, (ie. a cops to heavy to carry.... because I can... or why do you want to know...)
I am looking for the best one or two liners, that EDUCATE and INFORM a populace which has become unaccustomed to seeing a weapon in public...
I see it as much a Public Relations action as I do, the exercise of a basic God-given right....
Usually its a one or two line exchange and then its a dropped subject.... So, what is your favorite response intended to promote and encourage the positive image of the gun owning American?
Remember, no Trite stuff. I am really looking for the best responses to friends or acquaintances, (and clients) most of who it is important to me to maintain their respect and association (and who are usually the ones to ask, not the strangers) so I don't want to come off as an arrogant jerk...
How do we promote the 2A as a respectable right to exercise...
Also any references to similar threads would also be appreciated.
Thanks.
