    Question Places you personally choose not to OC

    While these place may be legal to OC, there are just some places where I feel the need to CC instead as it would be more hassle then not to OC. I'm sure even the most avid OCer has that one or two places where they would not OC even though it is perfectly legal to do so. Where are these places and why do you choose not to OC there? Assuming of course you are still CC instead.

    For me I wont OC in daycare centers, in large crowds (depending on the atmosphere), banks, universities and churches. As Greg mentioned it also depends on if I'm in the mood to deal with people as well.

    EDIT: Crap that was meant to be multiple choice... MODS!!!

    Universities and Other. Other was my barber that I used to CC at for various reasons. Became a pain so I OC now. I OC in all those other places including the two bank branches I go to.

    EDIT: That was not quite correct. I've never been inside a casino, adult book store, or daycare since I started carrying. And I've only been in police stations the week I started carrying and back then left my gun in my car.

    With the exception of Casinos and schools, I may OC to any of the other places, and have in most of them that I actually patronize (I don't do 'Adult' establishments, for example).

    It all depends who else I'm with and how much time I have. There are times I simply don't want to take the time to engage in conversation - even a positive one, so I conceal. On other occasions I may have plenty of time and intentionally OC into typically 'taboo' places (a mall for example) just to test the waters.

    *I don't see a way to switch the poll to multiple choice once it's been submitted. Sorry.

    I OC everywhere. If they don't like it, I simply don't go there.

    I know we've gone back & forth over the casinos thing...so has it been generally agreed that OCing (or CCing for that matter) in casinos is actually "against the law"...or is it just against policy?

    IANAL but my understanding is you are ok as long as it's not posted. If it's posed then you are breaking the law...

    Tricky question. The prohibition is codified (I believe in a regulatory section), but there is no penalty for violation. But based on reports of high numbers of PSP and security present, I doubt I'd make it two steps in the door OC. Wanna go?

    I frequent The Meadows Casino occasionally, but I wouldn't OC there.
