No, although that can always change. I'm a Philly guy.

What I'm asking is whether you only display your security badge when you're OC'ing at work.

Most of the time if it is displayed the badge is out as well. I get more looks from having my dogs than OC. It is funny when I need the dogs for work. Two Pitt Bulls and me. Or when the wife has them. 5'2" Woman with 2 Pitt Bulls and a H&K USP40 Compact. God I love my Wife!

I wonder how OC would go over in the pretentious and overly cautious Doylestown., the wannabe Main Line of Bucks.

I live in doylestown for another few weeks, I know the local P.D. has handled CC issues in a courteous manner (a buddy of mine had the P.D. called b/c another patron @ a local bar spotted his pistol when his t shirt rode up, they didnt hassle him, just asked to see his LTCF, i know they had a conversation but my buddy viewed it as a good encounter). I have OC several times in CVS, WAWA, the borough govt building without any problems, I carry a 1911 in a serpa holster, no one has ever questioned me. In WAWA last nite i stood right next to a cop and had a 5 min. convo. dont think he ever noticed.

So far no issues, will post if i do.

I open carry in East Falls Philly pretty much every other day,,, well, if you consider my walk from my remote garage which is across the street from my house to be OC. I carry concealed in a shoulder holster but will frequently not put my sport coat or jacket back on just walk the 45 feet. Neighbors have all seen it and i've never had an issue.
