I agree the disparity seems illogical - shouldn’t matter one way or the other CC/OC Town/Country. Maybe it’s just the lower frequency of human interaction in the sticks that makes it seem more ‘appropriate’ or less likely to draw UNWANTED attention and reactions. Maybe it’s because in the sticks I frequent, it’s more common to observe people OC’ing. Maybe in town, people use people as camouflage, and it’s easier for a human predator to close distance. And in the woods, they gotta hide behind rocks and trees and make assessments from further away. And I don’t have to let them close distance. I dunno. Maybe it makes no sense at all and that’s OK. It’s just how I roll and so far so good. But to each their own.
