There are only two times I intentionally OC.
1. In the woods/ on the farm/ training
2. When Im doing stuff around my house (like I am now)
With that said, I have OCed into the gas station near my house to buy smokes but that was just because I didnt want to change holsters or clothes just to do that, if I am doing more than running to the gas station I would change or find a cover shirt.
I dont like looking like I am looking for attention or being "that guy". Not everyone who OCs is trying to be "that guy", but ive seen more bad OC than good, some examples.
1. guy had a sigma in a uncle mikes cheap IWB, but it was tucked in his front pocket.
2. douche with a thigh rig for his XD, wearing shorts and crocs
3. tons of flimsy clip on nylon holsters with the little spare mag pocket on the front
4. SOB holster with no retention device and no cover garment, like literally the worst place to have a gun, nothing to keep it in, nothing to hide it, and near impossible to physically retain if someone did want to get it.
For everyone ive seen OC "properly" that wasnt a cop, Ive seen three people carrying like an idiot. Those people are not helping anyone, IMO they make gun owners look either unsafe or like attention whores.
