The thing is these sort of disagreements tend to stifle real constructive discussions on advantages, and methods. There are some important issues that deserve discussion about CC and OC. but the bigger issue of whether one should or shouldn't matter to anyone but oneself. Calling people dumb because they choose to carry a different method than you do is insensitive inappropriate and just plain dumb.
I would like to point out that there is no one perfect way to carry for every single person. I am a critic of SOB, pocket Gonad femoral artery, or Open carry. But circumstances vary and have made these the best option at sometimes for me. Any method that we do choose to carry does have disadvantages or drawbacks. But sometimes an often criticised unpopular method of carry may be the best for a given situation or individual.
I like OC. I believe that it does provide the visual that you are able to protect yourself not just another person walking around with nothing on their shoulders except a cap. At a gas station Open Carrying of your weapon, keeping your head on a swivel, staying in Condition Yellow to Orange depending on the neighborhood, locking your vehicle is the best way to stay safe.
Just My Humble Opinion.
