Okay, so let me start out by introducing myself-
Hi. I'm Shaman
I've been reading this forum for awhile and decided to join today to get your opinions on a few things~
I have never OC'd, but I'm seriously considering doing so for a lot of reasons. My partner doesn't think it's a good idea because it might garner me unwanted attention/trouble. (He is a CC permit holder, but I am not. I would like to get the permit, but money's currently very tight).
We haven't gotten into a full-blown discussion over it as he fully supports me should I choose to OC, but it got me thinking privately about the kinds of negative attention he might've meant.
1) I am a 5' tall 100lb 24 yo female person who honestly most people think is around 16 yo. If I were to OC in public (I live in Adams County, not Denver County), am I inviting trouble that isn't worth the hassle?
(ie: people thinking I'm carrying underage or god-forbid, some jack-hole decides it would be funny to try and get the gun away from the short girl to be an a$$/see if he can/prove a point)
2) It seems from reading other posts that having a CC permit does make things easier should you get confronted by LE/random folk even if you are well within your rights to carry- should I wait for the permit?
Thanks for your input- and be gentle- it's only my second post!
