OC'ed today at the age of 20

[unclemoak]

Well after reading some threads and realizing that it is legal for me to OC at 20, I decided today was the day.

I took my dog for a 2 mile walk around the neighborhood. And I must say that at first I was rather nervous, but after a couple minutes I really didn't mind so much. The whole time all I could think to myself was don't get arrested and think of something so say if someone shouts that I have a firearm.

All and all I think it was a rather liberating experience and I'm quite tempted to walk over to my polling place and cast my vote while OC'ing.

Good for you. Be professional and polite and you should be fine.

Follow that advice in all you do. GOOD JOB!

Great Job!!!!

Although I bet you still can not wait till 21. [sarcasm] then you will be old enough to conceal and carry in a car [/sarcasm]

Good for you. Be professional and polite and...

..have a plan to kill everyone you ever meet. No, really, my personal motto. Good for situational awareness/boredom.

Good job on the OC, glad you had a positive experience.

I think its time we start a little mini-group of PAFOA, "OC under 30". I think a different experience is had when youre in your 20s and you carry. Common public has a preconception of our age group as being the rowdy, shakey type. When we dont fit that profile, we are either assumed to be older, or veiwed as a strange anomally.

Not saying you should be expecting a negative experience when OCing @ 20, Im 23, and have been OCing for almost a year, and have yet to be 'hassled by the man'.

Hey, now I'm being discriminated against. I just turn 31 on Saturday.

But for the OP what were you carrying and in what?

[unclemoak]

S&W M&P 9 in a Comp Tac belt Holster, no spare mag or anything. I figured 17 rounds is more than enough. I was wearing sneakers, nice jeans and a nice t-shirt, and a baseball hat. I'm clean cut and have a high and tight hair cut, so someone could potentially pass me off for being .mil or police though I unlikely with my age.

Next time I might have to carry the SA TRP in the Wilson practical.

I almost bought that yesterday in .40... but it would have hurt the pocket book too much.
