I was set-up at a local Flea Market yesterday and noticed at least four guys that came by my table during the course of the morning that were OCing. All were older guys of 45+ and all were dressed neatly with tucked-in shirts in either shorts or slacks. Oddly enough all but one were carrying revolvers of one flavor or another.

None of the swaggering "look at me" types you constantly read about in GD that folks claim they see, just normal local Joes going about their business looking for deals. No drama, no wives hiding their kids, no OMG.

It's good to see that OC is catching on more and more in Virginia.

Nothing wrong carrying a revolver. Most are in calibers that kick ass.



I just hate carrying strips or speedloaders.

Yeah I usually split my CC time between a revolver and semi-auto.

Most of the guys I have seen OC are acting normal too....come to think of it......none of them acted abnormally.

I never really understood the opposition to OC.  It has a place, especially if you live in CO, near the mountains.

Last guy I saw open carrying was in a Best Buy and was wearing a vest with no shirt underneath. Deffinately got a "look at me" vibe. Most others I see are just older people going about their day and seem to not want to bother with trying to hide it.

The part in blue may be the reason that the red sentence is true for you. I've seen people OCing at various times throughout my entire life and never really thought much of it until the recent OC craze hit and I started seeing more guys out there who seemed to be trying extra hard to flaunt it, often in ways that make them look bad(and sometimes in ways that make us all look bad).

It certainly does have its place though.
