Where did you OC today?

[HobbyGuy]

I had to go to the skating rink last night to pick up my son and his friends. I was OCing my G17. I checked their list of rules on the wall. Nothing there about weapons. So in I went. While I waited on my son to find his shoes, I was questioned by lots of kids. "Are you a cop?" "Why do you have that gun?"

One young lady told me it was "scary." The fact that I am 6' 5" and 270 might also make me "scary."

The ladies at the concession counter also asked. I gave them the line I stole from someone here on INGO, "I carry my gun because cops are too heavy." A minute later the owner came up. The concession stand ladies pointed out my Glock. He said, "Yeah, I saw it. So?"

So I got to talk to some nice folks and hopefully didn't permanently emotionally scar some teenage skaters.

The usual weekend yadda ya for me. Walked to McDonalds, then to Walgreens to make a purchase and then checked out the redboxdvd station outside. No MWAG call this time apparently.

Started out at KFC, then onto a picnic at German Park on Meridian, then the Speedway at Co. Line and 31. One guy came up behind me and asked "Is that a 9?", I responded with "40", he says "Awesome... Glock?" .. "Nah, USP." .. "Nice. You in the army or something?" "Nope." "Oh wow, 'cause that's an expensive gun."

Then onto CVS for some milk. Yum.

i had to go digging for this thread...no one has OC'd in 2 days?!

i got gas at the marathon on 106th/michigan rd last night and when i went to pay the guy at the register asked if it was the new Glock. we had a brief conversation (another customer came in) about what he had. it was an awesome experience as it was my 2nd time to OC and it was a good response!

although i noticed the guy behind me in line stood back a little bit

You mean he DIDN't rush you and try to grab your gun?

Meh, too common to post every day.

I did take the family to Olive Garden on Rockville Rd. last night.

Mmm... never ending pasta bowl. Nobody came unglued over my OC.

He probably waited until he left then discussed how wrong it was with the other bed-wetters.

Went to Walgreens yesterday evening.* One of the younger high-school aged employees followed me around a bit, then joined the cashier while I was checking out.* He asked what kind of gun I had.* The female cashier, probably 17, asked why I had it.* Then she went on a rant about how she doesn't trust guns because her friend's dad's gun dropped twice and fired, oh and he's a cop, oh and etc etc... So uh, yeah.
*
Went to gas station afterward.* There wasn't anyone there except the cashier/worker.* I probably shouldn't have gone in, because he was a little edgy, but I was as nice and courteous as always.*
*
Today went to Arby's for lunch.* Plan to go again on the way home (free Beef 'n Cheddar Wednesday )

edit: uh, pardon the asterisks. Weird copy/paste from iPhone. Will fix when I get home

Are you serious!?!?!?! I didn't hear about this! Wow, Arby's here I come!

 

[ATM]

Can you get as many free ones as you can eat?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

They've been doing a different free item all summer... like... buy a small drink and get this free. Today was Beef n cheddar.

Stopped at Arby's on the way home. Stood for three minutes without a single person acknowledging me. Saw them prepping food without gloves. Left.

Subway today. Some lady next to my getting a drink was with her kid, probably 4 years old. This lady was unbelievably slow, and talking to the kid the entire time (sure, that's nice, but don't KEEP asking the kid questions and holding everyone up when he's not answering you.) Anyway, as she was getting her drink she looked over at my hip (I was looking across the eating area at the time), then slowly looked back at her drink. She stopped, told the kid "Let's use the one on the other side of the store", and walked over there. Wow. Pretty obnoxious and sad, to me at least.

I got pulled over on the way to work this morning. Officer was very nice, asked if I had anything in the car he should be aware of, I told him I had my USP 40 in my bag, he asked for license, then went back and checked my stuff. On the way back, yelled for me to show him my hands out the window, then approached and told me he appreciates me letting him know and for cooperating. Verbal warning, apparently I was tailgating the people in front of me a bit too close =/

You know out of nearly 60 stinking pages of OC and 100's if not 1000's of places visited we should have at least had one of us singled out and shot by a BG by now for not CC'ing!


Come on folks get with the program! One of us is going to have to take one for the team soon or the CC'ers might just have to change their theory!!!

It's someone else's turn.

For years now I have paraded around OCing. Most days I am targeted and shot several times. Various locations but always the same. They immediately take me out and then rob the joint or at least get my place in line for fountain drinks. Just lately I am starting to have days where I am not targeted and shot. Perhaps word is getting out that even unreasonable people can make reasoned choices and if they just wait a few minutes, I will leave.
IDK but keep up the good work.

Currently in CO. Went to Gander Mountain, King Soopers, Verizon store and Auto Zone.

Guy in Auto Zone inquired about carrying. He asked about the legality and where you can/can not carry. Talked for a bit. When I was checking out he came up to the register with another guy. Asked me to show him that I was OC'ing and tell him it was legal. The guy didn't believe you could carry like that and lost fifty bucks to the other guy on the bet.

The guy who lost the money must have been one of the transplants from California.
I lived in Colorado Springs for awhile, OCed everywhere and never got a second glance. Many people carried back in the early 90's when I was there.

Carried to the bookstore at the Purdue North Central campus in Westville to buy my Econ book. Plenty of stares, but no one was injured.

Washed the car because it's a nice sunny day, and I might have plenty of sunshine to drive around with the top down this week.

Maybe he used to be a Hammond police officer. They still think it is CC only.

The gun show, if one can be said to OC with an empty gun
