Re: Can you OC in the winter?
Incorrect, it doesn't matter if it's winter, spring, summer whatever. you can oc anytime you want. if you wear a coat, shirt, potato sack, and it covers the gun, you better have a ltcf. plain and simple. if you have a lctf and a coat covers it, you are cc'ing as soon as you take your coat off you are oc'ing. if you do not have a ltcf and a coat covers it, you are against the laws of our fine commonwealth.

Re: Can you OC in the winter?
As I mentioned in the other thread, ankle holster is an option.

Re: Can you OC in the winter?
This is actually an older topic. But as posted previously (see pic): http://forum.pafoa.org/open-carry-14...ml#post1359993
The coat is from 5.11 Tactical.

Re: Can you OC in the winter?
I don't OC in the winter, because I don't like looking like complete idiot with gun belt on top of the coat/winter clothes.
Except when I'm hunting and my gun is in shoulder rig, but in this case I don't really care what deers will think about my OC or color of my pants.Je suis déplorable

Re: Can you OC in the winter?
If I wanted to OC I'd use the side zippers on my jacket to expose the firearm. There are special 'duty' type jackets that have this, picked one up before I had my LTCF/CCDW...

Re: Can you OC in the winter?
I generally don't make any effort to CC or OC. I wear an OWB kydex holster because it's comfortable. If I throw a jacket on, I'm CC'ing... But that choice is based on the weather, not how visible my weapon is.
There are a couple of exceptions... For example, when going to a place where it's clearly in my best interests not to be found out, I will wear an IWB holster for the day and conceal. If going to a pafoa get-together or a range trip, I sometimes make a point of OC'ing. But for normal, everyday activities? It just depends on my circumstances and dress. Sometimes, I will have a jacket on, then go into a house or business where it's warm, and take it off, effectively converting to OC.
Don't take this the wrong way... Just because I don't make an effort to do one or the other, doesn't mean I'm not always aware of whether I'm OC or CC. When OC'ing, I make an effort to be more aware for retention purposes. I am always aware of wheter I am CC or OC, unless I'm concealing and my shirt rides up without my noticing. But I discover this quite quickly.Everyone should have an AK-47

Re: Can you OC in the winter?
I just don't change my habits. I always OC with a tucked in shirt. If it gets cold, then ya I will throw a jacket on. I just don't worry if my jacket is covering my pistol or not. If it is, it is. If it ain't, it ain't.
