I voted No. I wouldn't support it, nor would I oppose it.
:iagree:
I am not opposed to it, and from a philosophical point of view, I am in favor, since the RKBA shall not be infringed. In practice, I have little interest in promoting this. I would not personally OC due to a few concerns:
1. Higher chance of having my weapon taken by a potential BG.
2. Don't like to make others uncomfortable needlessly.
3. Don't like to make myself "designated primary target" of the BG
4. Feel it is more socially responsible to make the BG guess who is and who is not carrying, thereby CC in general providing an increased security even to those who chose not to.

From a non-personal standpoint, I would be concerned about the possibility of public backlash, but moreso the spreading of our RKBA efforts to areas that are less beneficial than some others.

So, I will not oppose OC in anyway, but I also don't actively support it. I think there are higher priorities (parking lots, campuses for CC) than OC.

My $.02.
