[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 3117126, member: 24577"] I also don’t buy into the “bad guy will take me out first” because of me OC. 99.9% if people don’t look at someone’s waste anyway. We might because we carry ourselves but most others folks don’t. I am very observant when I’m out and about. I don’t ever see anyone looking at my pistol. Heck, they don’t even really notice me anymore than anyone else. Could it happen that a bad guy takes me out first because he or she notices my pistol? Sure it could. But I could also have their body full of lead before they notice I am armed too. Unless their is factual data to prove OC makes us primary targets for would be murderers, then don’t speculate. If it’s out there then lay it out on here. I have had three people come up to me and talk about my OC in the years since it became legal to do. Two of them were to tell me thanks for doing it. The third was a woman that asked how I would stop someone from just walking up and taking my pistol out of my holster. I then showed her the retention that my holster had. She was pleasantly surprised that my holster worked like that. She then said her thoughts had changed and that she was glad I was carrying. I just won one over right there. If we never do it we won’t ever be able to change public perception. [/QUOTE]
