Everyone should always be aware of their surroundings, have plans to avoid or escape danger and be prepared to use deadly force if necessary.My point is that for the year before OC passed we heard a constant drum beat of how there was going to be the OK Corral Gun Fights, Blood flowing ankle deep in the streets, regular incidents of gun grabs and so on. Kelly Ogle on Channel 9 and reporters on other stations were wringing their hands over OC. Even the very day that the law passed, a number of the legislative members were about to Pee themselves over worry. all because someone with the OHP or some other LEO agency had warned them about all the dangers they would encounter.And what has actually happened....here several weeks into the new law...we have probably the busiest shopping day of the year, with untold tens of thousands of people of both sexes, of all ages, of diverse races and ethnic backgrounds crowded into stores all across this state and millions of more people in the 42 other states that also allow open carry... and most all of these people were frantically contending with each other for limited items... and know one got shot or injured by a single person who Open Carrying. No handguns were grabbed. Apparently no police actions had to be taken. OC just isn't the big bad Boogyman some people continue to paint it to be.</blockquote>
