I was in Harbor Freight this afternoon buying a hand truck.
Spotted an OC'er at the checkout. Black BDU pants, Black Ed style shirt, a ring through his nose and earrings.
Didn't have time to talk to him.
What is meant by "Unicorn"?

He's mis-using the term.
The term means an OCer who decided to start OCing because he found out on his own it was legal, as compared, for example, to a VCDL member who heard about it during a meeting, or somebody who came across our website. Such people are thought to be about as rare as unicorns.
Unfortunately, quite a few OCDOer's mistakenly think it means an OCer not personally known the spotter.
Given the publicity OC has enjoyed over the last five years, genuine unicorns are even less likely.
And, certainly, you can't tell whether its a unicorn unless you talk to them and find out how they found out it was legal.
No offense to Peter, but he's mis-using the term.

I misunderstood the term as well. I had open carried a pistol earlier, but it was always out in the woods. The earliest I can recall carrying a holstered pistol in town is 1974, in Wisconsin.
:lol:I can't believe you remember the first time in town. I had to do a serious trip down memory lane and I think it was in 62 or 63. That was just a quick walk through town to get to Popes Farm. (I wasn't old enough to drive)
