Re: OC in Idaho
ADDITIONAL INFO: He was a white, middle-aged guy in jeans, t-shirt, and biker-type "do rag" instead of a hat. Kind of a short beard. Not "clean cut", but didn't look out of place for the area, either.

Re: OC in Idaho
He was giving up the element of surprise, subjecting himself to a gun grab attempt, and he was preventing any potential crime in the first place.
How much of one versus the other? Who knows. The only thing I know to be incorrect is if you say that any of the three factors above has a zero probability. Personally, I will continue to CC most of the time, and OC when it is more comfortable, or I just feel like doing so.
And no, OC is not "dumb", and I don't OC "for attention". It would really be nice if we could stop attacking people who's carry choices don't mirror our own.

Re: OC in Idaho
I on the other hand, when I OC, have----neck tats, "Bloods" style do rag, unwashed long white t-shirt, and stinky raggedy jeans, and a HiPoint 9. I carry a Lorcin .25 as a BUG. Shoved down the front of my jeans, of course.K.Mooneyham wrote:ADDITIONAL INFO: He was a white, middle-aged guy in jeans, t-shirt, and biker-type "do rag" instead of a hat. Kind of a short beard.

I know the OP was but my question was to O B Juan who appeared to be agreeing with the statements regardless of the intent of the original poster.Oldgringo wrote:I think the OP was being facetious or is it ferocious ?1911 10MM wrote:So you agree with baseless information?
