Message: <blockquote data-quote="tRidiot" data-source="post: 2184939" data-attributes="member: 9374">Interesting....I often wear baggy cargo-style shorts or pants, often dress in mostly dark colors, a lot of black and gray. I have a shaved head and a beard. I wear gold hoop earrings in both ears. I have many tattoos, including and extremely colorful one that completely covers my upper arm to the elbow and extends down my forearm as well. In fact, I get a lot of comments about my "biker" appearance and am often asked what kind of bike I ride, etc. Especially when I wear my leather jacket. Oh, and if it is not dark out, I ALWAYS have my dark sunglasses on, as my eyes are fairly light-sensitive. Even if it is overcast, to keep blowing wind out of my eyes, since it dries out my contact lenses. lolI also open carry either a Springfield or Para Ordnance 1911 on my right hip frequently.In fact, judging by your post, I would think I am exactly the kind of person whom many people might find "scary" and are leery of, especially when I am carrying a gun.However, I also have a spotless record, am licensed to carry legally and am generally well-mannered and polite to most people I meet, I think. I also have passed a similar check to the OSBI one from the DEA and the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. I am licensed in the State of Oklahoma to practice medicine and prescribe controlled substances. And carry a gun. Stereotypes... should we cater to them, or work to educate people and remove irrational fears through responsible and non-confrontational exercising of our God-given, State-recognized rights?Just curious...</blockquote>
