"I will report you" blah blah

And all this time I thought CC meant Conceal-Carry.

I laughted so hard my wife asked if I was OK.

Bake up a big tray of cupcakes bacon. Go around to each of the neighbors, carrying openly, and give each one a great big cupcake bacon, introduce yourself and shake their hand. Do not bring up the subject of firearms. If they bring it up, do plenty of laughing and "oh pshaw"ing, and say something about being more comfortable for fat/skinny/whatever-you-are guys like you. Shift the subject to something neutral, and move on to deliver more cupcakes bacon.

Fixed

Maybe it's because you point guns at cameras menacingly.

lmao. Good one. But it's pretty clear they havent visited these forums (based off the fact they have no clue about PA carry law)

Fences make the best neighbors ...... But in the mean time , give them something to REALLY gawk about while they stare into your yard.....

So I should stay confined to my own yard when OC'ing? The only time they ever even see me is when I am playing with the Kids out front or walking to my car, or back.

Did you try hitting them?

Not yet. But I am thinking about it. :P

The thing is the neighbor responsible has already been introduced to me and all of that, so its not like he doesnt know who I am.

Simply, IGNORE THEM!

Or unleash a scathing, seething, wicked tongue because there is no reasoning with people like that.

Thats plan B

CC does mean conceal carry.... whata re you talking about?

Neighbors are like assholes, everyone has one and most of them stink.

How's that for twisting an old adage?

Ignore them and if they do 'report you' (by the way where is this Russia?) and the cops come and, hopefully, 'get it' have them inform the offending ass wipe to STFU.

This is the PPD we are talking about though. What happens if I end up getting arrested on my own front lawn for legally OC'ing? Doesnt seem to farfetched, especially if they embellish their story when they call the gestapo to report me.

Who cares about your neighbors. Let them call the police, then the police will either take your gun and you can sue them, or they will tell the people to STFU, stop filing false reports, or cite them for harassment.

As far as your landlord, well if he tries to kick you out for OC'ing, we can deal with that as it comes. Appeals can keep you in that house for longer than you thought possible.

This is the kind of shit you will get into when you OC. If you don't want to deal with it, then don't OC. You can only educate those who are open minded, the rest will always look down on your for OC'ing and try to ruin your day.

Cupcake Carry as one poster mentioned...

[ddefazio]

I would invite him to the range. I have had neighbors look at me cross eyed about carrying and I have invited them to the range to make them fans.

Well (and this isn't meant to be rude btw)

Time to nut up or shut up.

Philly PD is going to end up getting sued over and over and over and when they lose a few of these they are going to HAVE to start telling their cops to stop. Cities may not understand rights but they sure as HELL understand losing money over and over.

[LorDiego01]

if your landlord honestly doesn't care, then anybody else can simply stuff it.

Just ignore them, and if they harass your lady again, go talk it out in person; see of if you can dissolve the situation in a professional and civil matter. (I'd leave the gun home, or cc it for this).

Doesn't matter--you're just giving him something to say on the witness stand.

"So, has my client ever threatened you?"
"No, sir."
"Has he gotten into arguments with you?"
"No, sir."
"Has he made angry or threatening gestures to you?"
"No, sir."
"OK, then what HAS my client done to make you call the police?"
"He gave me a giant cupcake and wished me an 'awesome day,' sir."
"A giant cupcake?"
"Yes, sir."
"And what, you don't like chocolate?"
