Ah yes the silent club. It’s like a Some Grandmas Knit real Grandmas listen to Neil Diamond signature 2023 shirt of passage for white friendship in the south it seems. I can’t even begin to enumerate how many times I’ve had a new friendship become comfortable with me to see if I was “in the club”. A very close friend of mine was selling a keyboard (musician) and another friend of mine who had a big record or two back in 2008 – 2013 era was looking to buy a new keyboard. Seller white, from Boston, currently living in Atlanta, buyer black, from Miami, living in Atlanta. I figured connect my friends and hey maybe something cool will come of it outside of a good deal. Nope. The buyer thought the price was a little high after checking out the keyboard and I casually let the seller know because perhaps he just wanted some feedback to move the item. I’ll never forget this because I rarely snap at someone but when he heard the feedback he said “f——- n——— always a trying to get shit for free” I lost my goddamn mind on this person. Buyer was absolutely influential and a close friend of and provided feedback that really helped me throughout my career — an exemplary human being. I made sure that was fucking known. The sad bit. I can tell you about quite a few more experiences. Never heard this shit so frequently in my life until I lived in the south.

I appreciate you acknowledgement of Some Grandmas Knit real Grandmas listen to Neil Diamond signature 2023 shirt personal trauma and willingness to address and face it and especially the way you have interacted about it in this thread. That’s all I have to add about that. As to open carry, I’m friendly to it and OC a lot in summer as just a matter of personal comfort and CC almost exclusively all winter due to natural cover garments in the cold. But then I also spend most of my time around a pro-gun suburban to semi-rural area and as a matter of personal preference avoid crowds and crowded areas. However, after 17+ years experience, training and study of OC/CC, I do not and very rarely have OC in urban, urbanish or crowded areas. That some people may target an OC person is true, even if terribly and often overstated by certain CCW peeps. Further, the more people around the harder it is keep track of threats no matter how much you swivel. Also, risk of multiple assailants is generally higher. South Bend has changed a lot since I was last there according to family who still live in and around the area. But from my understanding of what it is like now, there are areas where I would probably be ok with OC on an average day. But there are areas, like where it sounds like you live, that I wouldn’t want to drive through, let alone OC. I would find the risk of being ambushed by multiple assailants just for my weapon to exceed any deterrent benefit of being obviously armed. As I can’t quantify either risk and only perceive their relative level, I would error on the side of CC in such an area, there or in any other city. Just my personal thoughts as you asked. Wishing you safety and peace,
