I CC 90% of the time because:
- I think it gives me an advantage if I ever need to use it.
- Saves the embarrassment of being asked to leave, hide it, etc...
- Gives me an excuse for having a big ***.

I OC when walking the dog, around the house and mowing the lawn because:
- I'm tired of the media portraying guns only in a bad way and DO want to educate those who know me about it being Ok to carry a weapon. I don't OC (but don't worry about concealing it too well either though) when shopping because there are morons out there that don't know me for jack and trying to educate them is like trying to push a rope. I've lived in my neighborhood for almost 15 years and have a good relationship with many neighbors from years of dog walking and helping each other. Those are the people I want to educate. They know me. They know I'm not a cop. They also know that I'm one of the good folks that takes care of the yard, shovels neighbors driveways when they can't, picks up after my dog and also carries a gun. I am tired of the main stream media working hard to depict all gun owners as criminals and all guns as useful only for crime. I OC around the neighborhood to try to de-sensitize people about seeing a gun.
