OC Works

"I was observing the yoot as he followed us. He was close to bad breath distance, and observed Unc's openly carried Glock 30. He then noticed my Smith & Wesson J-frame, also openly carried, and that's when he veered off sharply and started walking at a pace that could be described as "brisk", except that the rate at which he left us would make "brisk" seem like a slow amble..."
It's not just a political statement.

It works in some situations. In some situations it might just get you shot first.

It's all a tradeoff.

I wonder how many OC'ers have ever taken any formal training in firearms retention?

("Why take retention training? Show me where an OC'ers gun has been snatched!" isn't a counter-argument. OCers are statistically insignificant, but steadily growing. By the time there are as many OC'ers in major urban areas as there are uniformed police officers, it is a near statistical certainty that it will occur. Pilot's training would have seemed pointless in 1906, too...)

Open carry in a group works.

Tam I'm a big fan of an off hand knife for retention duty.
