The Open Carry Argument

[mk2ja]

Sign me up. Maybe we can even get Fenway to let us put the INGO logo on the back - for a small licensing fee, of course.

If this comes to be while I'm gone to OCS, somebody please order one for me and I'll pay you back when I finish!

 

[japartridge]

Hell I'd even be in for one of those...

maybe crossed cannons like the SA Logo....

If you guys are in I will design them and have them made. Are any of you guys Tshirt makers? If not there is a local shop here that does small lots for a decent price.

Something like this?

We could ask Fenway if we could put the INGO logo on the back or on the sleeve.

This was just a quick design that I did. The font isn't the greatest, but you get the idea.

Welcome to our ranks! Not too long ago we couldn't even MENTION OC in a thread without 5 guys jumping down our throats about the things you mentioned. Recently I have noticed that our numbers have grown and tolerance has been reached. I can't remember the last time a thread was severely derailed solely on an OC/CC debate.

Yes, just as to the silly thought of England having a Queen, we have become tolerant to the notion of OC.

Close, but not quite.

OC has always been King.

Acceptance of CC (and of Queens) have only recently become the norm for society.

I can get the font to look like ac/dc's in photoshop. I just need some good pistol drawing(s)

 

[Titanium_Frost]

I have the AC/DC font on my computer but it is I'm a format that I can't work with. Give me a while and I can post the link and the files up.

I'm going to start a new thread about it so we don't keep derailing ATM's thread

OC/CC shirts and logos - INGunOwners


Here is the new thread

Don't worry - He's use to it.

Did you just call me a queen???

Maybe.

Come up with a design and I see about getting it hooked up. Least i can do is get a quote. I know 2 shops I can hit to compare prices, one of the owners I know.

Open carry. Pocket carry when the event presents itself (aka my wife refuses to let me open carry / family outtings.)

Always-always-ALWAYS Condition one. Currently doing cocked and locked with one in the chamber; OWB open carry.

Spoke with a Convicted Fellon Saturday about OC

This was a great read protias! Rep inbound. It just adds confirmation on a personal level to the fact that OC prevents crime.


I'm including a quote from the other site because it really sums up the mentality of criminals.

"my brother said it took him almost a week to get the picture of a guy with a gun out of his mind before he got the nerve up to go rob another store. It really freaked him out because it reminded him that there were people out there with guns that could shoot back."

My thoughts... If you are OC then you put yourself out there to conflict. Yes you may get the thug that changes his mind and doesnt go and rob the joint. On the other hand, if you are carrying and something goes down. You basically are automatically thrown in that situation(I know theres exceptions) because you are the first responder and the only one to counter the situation.
If you are CC then you have the choice of being put inot that situation and weather you want to get involved.
Yes, I know you can choose to get involved when you OC too, I just think the option is dwindled considerably.

There are exceptions to many situations. Every one is different an unique in its way.

Just my opinion. I'm going to start OC.

I'm 50/50 on the subject. I do both depending on weather/place/occasion.

Please articulate more as to why if you OC, you must intervene?

 

[Titanium_Frost]

The one thing I notice with CCers is that they like to put everything into a box. They believe in absolutes. That there is one answer for everything. They also believe that we are similar but I have not met one single OCer that has an answer for everything before they get there.

Bank being robbed while you are in there? OCer is either getting shot first or MUST intervene. It is like choosing to carry openly takes away our free will. I've had CCers who know me well tell me that I should consider CCing sometime. Like I have never concealed a pistol before

I personally use any and all carry methods to my advantage. I just don't see how purposely limiting your options is EVER a good idea.
