While I certainly am not fearful of OC (I actually met one at the Bristol Wal-Mart a month or so ago; the guy had a pistol strapped to his hip), it just seems to be inflammatory and not much protection against attack. Any advantage in access or draw speed would be negated by the attacker(s) knowing not only that you're carrying, but what and where you're carrying.

You'd also be a target for criminals looking for a gun to steal, particularly if you have a routine.
