Normally I CC. A few days ago, however, I found that after I had returned from Home Depot, I was fully OC'ing. See, I get in the car after work and put my gun in my holster (yes, I leave my holster on at work, because it shreds my belt). At times, my shirt gets in the way, and the result is a fully showing piece.
I got a few "looks," but I didn't think about it, because I kind of stick out anyway. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed it. My wife's only response was "oops" (I'm very blessed to have such a supporting mate).
So, count me "in" as someone who OC'ed in public, albeit Ignorantly.
BTW, I can't recall if I said this, but a few months ago, I ran into a cop in our neighborhood (different from the first). He's PG PD. I asked him what he thought about CC. He shrugged, but he said that OC really bugs him. Why? They (PG PD) get calls from a worried/concerned citizen, and they [hear the grumbling] have to go and check it out. His gripe is not at all the OC; it is often the attitude of the carrier: "It's my right!" Could we just be a little more courteous? When confronted, conceal it.
Now, if you don't have a CCL,... I don't know what you can do.
