If you want us gun owners to be looked at as a fringe group and as criminals, then keep hiding your guns and discouraging others from carrying openly. As long as we do that, OC will be rare, and people will freak out (so you say) when they see a gun and want them outlawed. but if they see guys (and girls) like us, walking around with our families, with our kids, they might say to themselves, "hey, that guy's just like me." or "hey, those kids are cute and well behaved. Oh, their dad's carrying an XD. Pretty cool."
I can't make decisions for others... I just gave my opinion of OCing.
It wasn't intended to butthurt anyone, but obviously it did.
Do what you wish. I'm all about personal freedoms, especially when it comes to the Pro 2A movement.
But this isn't the America our founding forefathers intended it to be.
If it was... nobody would have issues about legal citizens packing... OC or not.
Well you can resign yourself to the way America is now and accept the nation's shift to the left, or you can let everybody who sees you know that guns are okay by carrying openly. It's up to you.
Love a debate (good for the ticker and the thinker) but it's been done many times. If the mods don't care, start a new thread?
ETA: Maybe leave this thread for the social issue discussed above.
If we wait long enough scutter01 will link us to the past debates.

My bad you all... I didn't mean to mess up that other thread.
I will stand in the corner until play time is over.
Done! You boys have fun!
No harm done MG.
Think of it this way:
You're post was SOOOO good, that we decided it deserved its own thread! lol
