Fine. Carry as you feel best.
And I will, and others will.
Does that mean you are tolerant of others decision?
For me it comes down to there being zero tactical advantage to OC'ing (no difference in draw times for me) and at least a chance of one while CC'ing. That's it.
For me it was watching videos of robberies where the bad guys rushed in with next to no warning, then took their eyes off of the shop owner while they were getting their goods. If they noticed the shopkeepers openly carried pistol they may have not given him the opportunity to draw when their gaze was shifted. I saw several videos where it appears it would have been advantageous to keep it concealed, and clocking my draw to fire time showed extremely little difference in draw time.
So... completely hypothetical and along the same general "robber bursts in to shop without warning" scenario that always gets brought up.
OK.
Have you timed your draws based upon a variety of dynamic startle responses or was it while just calmly doing it as fast as you can. Ever grab a fistful of shirt or snag a jacket?
Just curious.

So you are choosing to base your method of carry on a very unlikely scenario where CC may or may not hold an advantage over OC instead of garnering the benefits of OC on a daily basis?
How many shop owners are robbed by surprise criminals ready to commit 1st degree murder? How many bystanders are there usually in robberies like that?
So... completely hypothetical and along the same general "robber bursts in to shop without warning" scenario that always gets brought up.
So there aren't ANY drawbacks to OC'ing either? Of course there are trade-offs with both, I'm going with the ones that I think are the most likely to be favorable to me based on my personal habits.
Also, no I haven't ever grabbed any shirt, but sure I suppose there's a chance. Things can go wrong with an OC draw as well.
How is it completely hypothetical when you can actually SEE scenarios where it might have been handy to cc?
...I guess I'm just tired of seeing the OC=Good CC=Bad from some folks, they both have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages.
As long as you're not one of the guys intentionally walking past an officer gun side out just to start something, I have zero issue with OC'ers.
I rarely hear of reasons given that aren't primarily hypothetical in nature.
If he don't start something, there won't be nothing... I walk where I like.
...That wasn't terribly hypothetical in nature.
What's interesting is how infrequently OCers are attacked.
