OC'ers are nutty

[Danmc]

I think the OC crowd is kind of nutty, just like the Westboro Baptist Church is kind of nutty. Every group has their nutty folks, and in the gun owners/lovers world, the OC'ers are nutty, IMO. Kind of like motorcycle riders...we all love 2 wheels, the wind in our face, etc., but the HD riders think their chit don't stink, and if you ride a Honda then you are not a true biker. I am mostly turned off by the attitudes from the OC'ers, much like I am turned off by the attitudes of the HD riders. Open carry to your hearts content, I just wonder if you don't hurt the cause more than you help.

I boy, here comes the parade of angry comments after that one.

Its time to grow up. Do you see any open carriers going into the cc forum with childish posts like this?

The Brady campaign should just recruit certain concealed carriers to lead the charge.

I've had the opportunity to educate more people in the last year due to OC than I was able to in the previous 5 while I CC. There will be "good" and "bad" in every group. Conduct yourself properly and dress appropriately and you will be able to help the cause.

Believe it or not, there are some folks who are actually extremely "anti-gun". They will look for any reason to bash a gun owner. Method of carry will have nothing do do with those folks. Then there are others who will observe law abiding citizens OC in public and conduct themselves in a totally civilized manner, not causing problems and functioning as any other citizen. This is the group that will have the biggest impact on our cause.

Ever hear of the saying "don't knock it until you try it?" I recommend you check it out in this case.

To each his own. Before you criticize, walk a mile in their shoes.

Can you say S-T-E-R-E-O-T-Y-P-E!!!

Geez dude.

[Bighouse Doc]

Of course, not a shred of evidence is given to prove this assertion. OC seems to work fine in places it is legal.

What cause? Being ashamed of others knowing you carry a firearm? Being afraid to exercise a Constitutionally protected right in the open light of day? It's OK son, it's 2012 you can come out of the closet now, we are not ashamed of you.

Here is one. OC'ers are obviously compensating for something. My guess is mom didn't put enough peanut butter on their sandwiches when growing up. Maybe they are insecure, short, fat, not well-endowed. That is usually what I think when I see my local oc'er out and about. "Be careful, he doesn't do well in society".

I guess I personally don't like to draw attention to myself. Some people do.
