And this opinion is and remains nothing more than psychological projection.OC sends a message, here in PA we have it and some are fans. Personally and as an instructor I am not. It does't help that the vast majority of the time I see someone open carry it with a ****** gun show one size fits all holster, usually the one with the mag pouch on the gun, and a flimsy church belt.
As we have demonstrated time and time again is training, a good punch to the face brings your hands up to your face not down to the gun.
To me it is just tactical peacocking.
