I OC every day in the summer at many stores and have received nothing but kind words. So much for your theory. I always notice that people who have strong opinions against OC are people who do not do it themselves, and buy into myths. I bet you cannot find one story of a OCer getting jumped int he past year. Criminals like the path of least resistance; they are not entirely stupid. Why would they pick a fight with a guy who carries a gun and knows how to use it versus finding easy prey?

Again, are you going to speak to the 60,000 police officers who are assaulted every year, openly carrying?

I open carry every day myself, been doing it for 17 years. And twice somebody tried to strip my weapon. Been assaulted probably a dozen times, resisted God know hows many times.

Here’s a myth for you. Criminals are afraid of open carriers. They are most certainly not. I routinely ask them during interviews.

Good luck Starbucks. No more gun owners will be there to fend off any bad guys (not wishing anything of course, just showing what Gun Free Zones INEVITABLY do)
