I started out strictly CC, and that's how I usually carry. I OC occasionally.

well, when i first got my license, i was told by the sheriff's office that i had to conceal, so i did, for awhile. i found out it was legal after joining the forum, and started to OC more and more. my method of carry mainly depends on what i'm wearing. so, naturally, i'm CC most of the winter.

Stumbled across this lovely forum before I applied for my LTCF. As such, found out OC was legal and started researching it while awaiting my approval. At first I carried around the house OC, just to get used to carrying. Then once I received my LTCF I CC'ed for the first week or two, without one in the chamber, just to get used to carrying in public, and to get over my fear of the gun going off. Within the first two weeks or so, much to the chagrin of some forum members, I started OC'ing and haven't turned back since. Yes, I still remember those "you're just an adrenaline seeking punk" "fight starting" "penis compensating" "young idiot" comments

Of course, when the winter months roll around, my jacket usually covers the firearm.

Should have put, Began CC Sometimes OC Mainly CC

But thats just me

Well, I started to OC when I lived in Wyoming then I moved here to PA.
Now, I OC and will start to CC when I get my LTCF in April or May.

So, once I get my LTCF I will probably OC 50% of the time and CC the other 50%.

I started out CC because I didn't know the laws for OC. After joining here I found that OC is perfectly legal. I read peoples OC encounter threads and started to OC. Now I OC 90% of the time. I still have places I would rathe CC but thats my choice.

Started out strictly CC. I didn't know it was legal to OC until just before becoming a member here. I have been OCing more and more but still CC a little more often than OC.

I started out CC because my sheriff told me it was illegal unless it was concealed. I don't know if it was back in the mid 1980s, but that's what I did.

I still carry mostly CC. Old habits die hard, I guess. The OC get together in Schuylkill county will be my first OC. Hope I don't ruin it for everybody

When I first started I didn't know OC was legal, like many folks. When buying my first handgun I also found out that it was possible to get a DE CCDW so I went through that.

I made an inside pocket for a leather vest, just to carry my primary firearm (and carried 100% of the time). I still can't find an OC holster for it so it stays in the vest. Tried IWB but that hurt my hip to much.

Secondary firearm was specifically bought for OC, since I'm a member of DELOC and we are primarily an OC site, though many have gone and gotten several CC licenses. (DE, UT and a PA LTCF). This I'll carry about half the time.

Tertiary firearm is in an ankle holster so it's CC'd. But it's not carried very often.
