My final statement here is if you want to OC where it is legal, than do it. If a legal problem arises from it, THAN FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS, LIKE MANY HERE ARE WILLING TO DO.
If you are not willing to fight for the cause than shut up and just read about people who are !!!
Well stated.
No pun intended...

Settle down, Beavis. Everyone else has just as much right to say whatever they want as you do. 
I think you have mistaken this site for http://www.DontOpenCarry.org

It has as much validity as the "rules" you refer to earlier in this thread.

You like to open carry and I think it's a bad idea in very liberal areas. We get it!

| The original point of this post (imho) was that a total stranger approached someone in an openly aggressive and potentially threatening manner. The only answer to her question, however it was posed was and should be myob! Whether you OC or CC is not anybody elses problem! If the individual accosted had chosen to report this to the police she could have be charged with breach of peace. Chances are if the police had been called and she was still present, she would have received a verbal warning and told MYOB! Before someone takes me to task about "how do you know this?" in my job the police had been called to the store on several occasions (not necessarily involving OC or CC) and in most cases the aggressor received a verbal and was told not to return by the police. Twice the aggressor was arrested and charged with "breach".

Just curious to what your take is because, unlike some others, you actually LIVE in CONNECTICUT. Do you OC? If so, when and where? I've been in CT for a long time and I have NEVER seen a non LE "regular joe" open carrying (other than the range) and, being from AZ where open carry is frequently done, I make it a point to look.

Yes, OC is extremely rare in CT. I've never seen anyone else open carry, only the occasional piss-poor concealment. Personally, the only time I OC is while hiking, walking in the woods, etc, when even sheeple will recognize the need for a gun and not be startled by it. Other than that, I conceal it. No need to raise alarm and piss people off. CC accomplishes the same thing (having a gun on me), without making me a target, pissing people off, complicating my day, embarassing my gf, friends, etc etc etc.
HOWEVER, in defense of the people that do OC everywhere... it has to start somewhere. If people don't start doing it, it'll never become commonplace. I wouldn't do it even if it was commonplace, but that's my personal choice. Other people have different opinions and there's no good reason anyone should be barred from OCing if that's what they want to do.

Booyah! Someone else speaks with wisdom regarding OC in CT. He OCs when hiking in the woods and I BELIEVE this guy. The others who claim to open carry for years in Bridgeport, New Haven, Stratford, Hartford, etc and have NEVER been hassled? BULLSH1T!!!

So, in other words, you believe that which supports YOUR point of view, but disbelieve that which does not.......
Clever.

I hope he jumps in... Even he would agree that UNTIL OC IS WRITTEN INTO LAW, doing it in CT, especially in the city, is STUPID.

You are correct, I will not. I never claimed to have done so.
The main point is that some CT residents claim to have OC'd. You deny their report.
AWD claims to have not seen others OC. You agree with his report.
You only agree with that which supports YOUR opinion. To be completely fair, you should admonish AWD to provide HIS audio/video evidence. If you want to call for supporting audio/video, at least be fair about it. Otherwise, at least give the other first-hand reports the same level of validity as you give the first-hand report from AWD.
