[QUOTE="mbok1947, post: 2889577, member: 41052"] Newly registered here but I did want to chime in on this perennial discussion, with perhaps a slightly different point of view than many. While I have no issue with the OC law, I personally would not OC for a simple reason: it makes one a target should a thug decide to rob me or the place I am patronizing. For more than a decade in my youth I was a crime reporter for the daily newspaper and spent 8-10 hours a night around the cops. often riding with them and having dinner in restaurants, and the uniformed officers I was with very early impressed one lesson on where to sit . . . facing the door. Why? Because any armed robber coming through that doorway is going to shoot the guy first who is most likely to shoot him. I don't want the bad guys to know I am armed. OC broadcasts it. Hence it destroys the vital element of surprise. [/QUOTE]
