Re: all the years living here and i never.....
I've only ever seen two people here where I live OCing. Other than that just people from here on PAFOA I met at a meet and greet last fall.

Outside of meet n greets here in the DELCO/Philly area, none. Although popular among those on this website, OC is not all that common in the state as a whole, we are but a small sliver of gun owners in the commonwealth.

Re: all the years living here and i never.....
Twice ever. Once by the Grist Mill near my house there was a guy with his GF/SO was OC with what looked like a Glock (I know, such a stereotype) as I was driving by.
The other time I was getting Fuel in the work truck at the gas station at the top of the hill, Rte63 just outside Green Lane. Might be US Gas, I forget. Guy had a revolver of sorts.
It was kinda funny, I got all gitty like a little girl. Ooh, ooh look, hes OC.
I wish I saw it more. Was this any of you?and to the dust you shall return

Re: all the years living here and i never.....
you see so many people on the OC threads talking about it, i am just surprised i never seen any, unless people just talk alot of shit and never OC themselves. i myself dont. i have been carrying many years and i always look for that stuff...never once have i seen anyone.

Re: all the years living here and i never.....
Like I said in my first post, we here on this site are only a small sliver of the population of PA gun owners, not to mention the population of the state as a whole. I have no doubt the hundred or so people who claim to OC here on this site actually do OC. But seeing one would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
The United States Census Bureau estimates that the population of Pennsylvania was 12,742,886 on July 1, 2011
A thread here on PAFOA from 2008 estimated that 46% of PA's voting population were gun owners. That would be about 5 million, so I don't find it hard to believe you'd have a hard time seeing one in your daily travels.

Re: all the years living here and i never.....
I OC almost everywhere. As for seeing others OC, I have run into a few here in my area, and a couple of others at Cabela's. In Monroe County, I have seen several people I have never met before OC at Perkins in Pocono Summit. According to my father, they are regulars there (so is he). I have also seen other people OC at the SGL on 423. As has already been mentioned, the large number of OC people here does not translate into a large number in the general population.
