I think that CC is preferred by the uneducated
Seriously?
I hope your OC bretheren are by soon to kick some sense into you.

I think that CC is preferred by the uneducated because if they don't see it they can pretend its not there.
Yeah, you took him wrong in your partial quote. Here's the whole sentence:
He's talking about the uneducated masses preferring that we all carry our guns hidden so they can pretend none of us are carrying.
Agree!public getting desensitized to seeing openly carried weapons and I agree whole heartedly that that is a big positive.
I am very conscious about retention and even though I carry in a Serpa I usually keep my left arm down so I can feel my gun with my forearm.
what i take from the essay is that is the op's personal opinion and you should make up your own mind on how you want to carry i have carried both ways and have only had 1 negative incident and that was with a local leo that tried to tell me open carry was illegal (not a very informed officer) he was going to confiscate and cite me for it until i made a call to a sheriff friend of mine who was on duty at the time and stopped by for me and "enlightened" him. but that 1 incident in 12 years of carrying to me doesnt sway me to cc because i dont want it to happen again in my mind it is whatever my mood or weather conditions suits me to do
that shows some leos are not well informed but with patience we can inform and make tomorrow a brighter futureI also was informed by a LEO recently that it was illegal, he was off duty and working a second job at the moment, once i showed him the IC he changed his stance and said we need to go shooting sometime.(we have talked many times) This LEO stated he has been on the force for 38 years.
I normally OC, for a variety of reasons....here's a few:
1) I can draw faster (if need be) if I don't have to pull jackets and shirts out of my way
Since it is exposed, someone else will come and take it from you.
2) Visual deterrent. Much like the cop car in the bank parking lot, the bad guy sees my gun, knows I'm not an easy target leaves me alone, additionally he probably won't try anything stupid in my general vicinity because he knows there's a gun present.
It will make you the first target.
3) It's generally more comfortable for me then trying to hide a big ol 45 on me (I'm a smaller built guy)
You need to find a smaller gun.
4) It's my GD RIGHT to carry however I see fit
But...but...you should use Common Sense!
5) It pisses off my liberal as F ex-mother-in-law
Sorry, I just can't argue with that.
Those are just a few reasons. Oh, and you can bet I've probably got a CC piece that you can't see too
off topic question imitation drama does that have a funky off taste like
You should probably just ban someone and say it is an imitation ban.^ The imitation drama just doesn't taste the same.
