Awesome. Thanks for the heads up... I'll indulge.
Has anyone checked leVieux's blood pressure? Don't want him to stroke out over there . . .

As a lady... I’ve often speculated about OC; IF someone happened to notice... it might be an assault deterrent. ( I’m worried more about sexual assault rather than anything else. )
As in, look elsewhere for an easy target.
However, it’s also possible that someone might think they can get the jump on me and take my gun. I do have retention, and blades on me (often also OC!) on the opposite side of my gun.
The fact is though... I’m very rarely somewhere where I could easily get assaulted while alone. The other times, like when I’m leaving work or going out to my car, it’s probably dark or the person has decided to pounce on me and isn’t gonna be looking to see a weapon (won’t expect it and won’t see it).
I think the most important thing from me is not if that it is seen (a la OC) , it’s is the firearm on my body and how easily can I get to it?

Stick to the logical points made at the beginning of that thread, found here...

That's a great article, well written and thought out.

My posts don't count....
....and it makes you want to get better-looking holsters.

There are a few points I don't necessarily agree with (such as you must inform someone who mistakes you for a LEO as otherwise it may be construed as impersonating an officer); but for the most part the author makes articulate and well thought out points in favor of open carry, some of which were new to me.
I believe it is one of the best most coherent arguments in favor of OC I have ever read...

9mm can be acceptable if you choose the right 9mm variant... For example, 9x23 or .38 SuperCooper loaded to their max potential. I converted an RIA .22TCM/9mm double-stack mid-size to .38 SuperCooper and like it, even though for the most part, I'm a 10mm / .45 person. I make my brass from .223 brass, often giving it new life after having gone through previous lives as other calibers -- .223, neck splits, convert to .300AAC, and when neck splits on that, convert to .38 SuperCooper or .22TCM.
