I personally am just trying ta get used to concealing myself. I'm a bigger guy so having something bulky on my waist is a lil bit ta get used to.
I never noticed CC to be more uncomfortable than OC.
Buy a good holster and big enough pants and you wont have an issue.
I wear propper lightweight tactical pants, and they are in my size, but have two small pieces of elastic in the waist. Also, a good belt is more important than you might think.
I think the new phrase is JFC, Just F@$&ing Carry.
Definitely like the 'JFC' concept.
Some times I think we forget that WE'RE all on the same side. IMO, we have enough actual criminals and far-left-liberal whackos 'criminals' ('cause they're trying to steal our rights), without resorting to trivial bickering among ourselves.
Well, probably NOT, but that's another thread!But...I'm Right......and you're all wrong!

I remember a bit of bickering right here in this thread when you first joined.
In my opinion, if a threat enters a building with the intent to do harm, the first person they will target is the one with the firearm. Thus the element of surprise give me the advantage. If I were say walking down the street in a rough part of town I could see some benefit of open carry. However, those of you who open carry, do you have to deal with the police often? I can see some people freaking out and calling the cops every five minutes while your trying to get some milk at the grocery store.

As for the "tactical advantage", it's been addressed previously.
And freaking out and cops. I haven't had a problem.
Most people don't even notice.
If you CC, you should still be ready for uneducated people. Because CC is not Invisible Carry. And more people know you're carrying than you think.

If a "threat" enters a building with intent, then OC or CC won't make a bit of difference. They are on a mission. Now, if they enter looking for OPPORTUNITY, which do you think looks like the easier target? They "grey man" that looks like any other sheep, or someone obviously armed and able to defend themselves?
I've NEVER had a negative encounter with law enforcement. Heck, I've never even been asked for my license. Ever. I don't think anyone has ever freaked out, let alone called 911. I've probably gotten scores of neutral comments (Hey! You have a gun!), and dozens of positive comments (Hey! Cool! You have a gun!). But, the vast majority of folks simply don't notice or don't care.
