I normally wear an IWB holster and conceal carry, so I don't have to worry about the general public (liberals and similar ilk) seeing my gun and freaking out. Mostly, I don't like advertising that I'm armed. With winter being here, though, I'd like to use some of my OWB holsters. It will still be pretty concealed as it'll be covered by an untucked shirt or jacket. But, the OWB holster means I stand a better chance of being spotted, and therein lies my questions for those of you that OC on a regular basis.
I kind of have an idea of what to expect to happen if the gun is seen and the police are called. Still, I'd like to hear what your experiences are and how you handled them. I'm sure the way the police act probably varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and no matter what, the best response is to follow orders 100% until it is established by them that you are not a threat. Comply first, complain later is a good way to keep things calm IMHO.
What I am even more interested in is how the general public has responded to seeing a gun. I'm sure that some of you have had crazy experiences and those are what I think I should be aware of the most. I live in Toledo and it's flush with liberal democrats, so anything is possible here if the gun is spotted.
Thanks in advance for any advice and experiences that you can offer up.
