EDIT: Better yet... doesn't anyone else realize that CC is a compromise? One that makes the forthright and honest among us (those of us without criminal records and a history of responsible behavior) into someone who goes to great lengths to conceal something? National reciprocity of CCW is NOT the answer. SCOTUS ruling that OC is 50 state legal IS the answer. Honestly, to the detractors, let the druggie store robber see my handgun on my hip - let that be the thing that makes him check into rehab tomorrow with the realization that he almost died trying to rob some cash to score. Carrying a firearm in public should carry both responsibility and consequences. Instead of the compromise of a 50 state CCW, we should be after a 50 state OC being recognized as a constitutional guarentee.
Knowing your luck, the druggie would have a friend that spotted you on the way in... figured your gun is worth $100... druggie friend is a little bigger than you and they jump you in the store, kill you with your own gun.
Then they rob the store and drive off with your car. They get $75 for your car and $40 for your gun. They don't even OD...
No, I'd rather not open carry... although, if others wanted to, I don't mind if they do. Very few of my friends actually know I own a gun.. let alone know I carry when not in MD.
