Where did you OC today thread: Part 2

[SockMonkey]

Never oc'd much, cause my gun and holster have been too heavy to be comfy. However, I got a new holster for myself for my birthday, so I'm gonna be trying to carry more. I oc'd at my own yard sale all weekend (in my driveway/garage), and tonight I did it at Amazing Joe's Grill in Columbus and Kroger. No comments, no obvious stares.

 

[bdwhitaker]

OC'd at Steak N Shake for breakfast, then on to Target in Greenwood to do some grocery shopping... no one even gave me a second look.

Big Woods Brewing Co. in Nashville and Columbus Kroger

Bass Pro in Portage, for Father's day dinner with my Father. No issues there as expected. Few extended family members gave me the unhappy look, I failed to care.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Breakfast with my Dad in Spring Arbor, MI. One of his friends we saw there pointed out to my Dad that I had a gun. My dad said "ReallY?"

Others looked but nothing said.

Blueberry pancakes were friggin' awesome. He uses malt flavoring. YUMMMMMMM!

Fathers day golden corral, Warsaw.

Not going to recount my past month of OC'ing. You can probably guess most of them.

I did run into a guy wearing a molon labe shirt in starbucks. He said he was too young to carry, but thanked me for OCing.

Do you have a good gun belt? Often a quality gun belt will can make even the heaviest guns comfortable to carry.

 

[MrCooper]

Just yesterday at Walmart, Autozone and Verizon. I don't always open carry but I do fairly often. I've only ever had one person say anything, a Taco Bell cashier who was probably 17 or so.

Yes, I have a few Galco belts.

Just left BW3, eating on their dime for the next few visits after sending an e-mail about some very sub-par chicken I had, and dirty beer glasses.

Then went to Speedway.

Cashier girl: Got a speedy card?
Me: I told you last time, no. *laugh*
Well GET one
Yeah yeah
Look at me, hassling the person with the gun
Nah, I'm one of the good ones.

Are you left handed? I saw somebody OCing that came in for a takeout order at the Greenwood location about two hours ago as me and the girlfriend were walking out. I almost said something. I was carrying concealed for once.

Nope =/ But I was there about 3 hours ago, Glock 23 on right-hip

BAH. I thought someone here finally saw me in the public.

Oh well. At least my assumption that you are "beardier" is still plausible. That guy definitely was not beardy or right handed.

The guy I saw was wearing a baseball cap, t-shirt, long pants, kydex holster that had a glock with a tac light, and looked flustered.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Earlier: Starbucks, Chik-Fil-A (officer at table, didn't notice/care), Thornton's Gas station (woman pumping nearby in a car covered in lefty bumper stickers looked at me a bit...), liquor store

Just got back from walking the dogs. While walking, a police car drove up the neighborhood road slowly, and stopped for a second while passing me. He didn't say anything though, I just figured someone in the neighborhood made a MWAG call.

About a 100ft further, some people outside talking called over to me complimenting our German Shepherd. Then they were talking about how they just called the cops on a bunch of kids parking in our neighborhood to get to some field nearby. So I guess it wasn't a call on me!

Talked a bit, and made my way home.

OC'd last Friday at Fifth Third in Newburgh. Went in to cash my pay check. It is not the ranch that I normally bank with, but it is closer to home. I was approached by an employee while standing in line. She told me that I still had my weapon on my hip, and that they would prefer that I not carry it in.

I said ok, you can prefer that. I continued to wait for the next teller. The manager then came out and informed me that "They did not allow firearms in the bank center. I would need to leave."

I told him that I would go to my regular branch and they would take care of my banking needs. I wanted to go back into the branch the next day to get his business card so that I could email him and his boss; however, I didn't want to break his rules since I would be carrying.

I consulted with my usual branch manager and now have the name of the offending manager and his boss. I will be writing to complain about the lack of service.

Good, glad to hear it! I bank at Fifth-Third, and I've been in many different branches, mostly around Greenwood... without a problem. Only one time the teller's thought guns were illegal in banks, I educated them thusly.

Another time, a teller/mgr complimented my gun and said he carries as well. I'd love to see more of us OC in banks to get over the stigma that a bank is some super-special sacred place.

That's crazy!! I walk in there usually twice a week with my gun on my hip, and no one has said a single word to me. Hell, I don't even get weird looks anymore, just the usual Hi, Colin!

Oh, to make this legit, walked around the apartment complex, (found a spot here that's eerily familiar to the spot that all that crap happened with Trayvon Martins shooting. Ummm, walmart to pick up some charcoal for a unplanned cook out with friends, then on a nightly walk around the apartment complex (yes, two walks).

No issues. I will OC to 5/3rd in Newburgh tomorrow, and see if something changed since last Friday when I was there.

Right. Cause I'm sure none of their business customers handling thousands of dollars are armed.

 

[HobbyGuy]

I would assume also that they have no law enforcement customers. If they don't allow firearms, then that sounds like a pretty blanket statement to me.
