Hey all, another new guy here from St Joe. Been lurking around for a while and contacting Reps when suggested for supporting open carry. I just feel that a law abiding citizen shouldn't have to hide his side arm because the uninformed do not know how to deal with it. I open carry some and have not had any issues yet, just some disapproving looks. Maybe us St Joe folks should meet and see if we can help support the work of others?

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I have a funny story about the south Belt Walmart...I was OCing with my wife walking in one day, and one of the little old walmart greeting ladies asked me to stay with her while she got a manager to check to see if I was OK to shop while OCing. I kinda rolled my eyes and thought, "Here we go..." The manager came over (a woman in her 20's) and just said, "Yeah he's fine, it's legal."
My jaw about dropped, and I said thank you and went about my business. Never had any problems with law enforcement...was even pulled over once with it on my hip, officer never said a word about it.

Not a St. Joe story but related somewhat.
I was talking to a couple of Troy cops at the Lincoln County Fair, well, I over heard them talking and butted in. Anyway, they were discussing a 911 MWAG call received recently and dissing on idiot people who go nuts over seeing a gun on a person's hip. I asked, "what did the dispatcher tell the responding cop?" "We did not respond, well started to roll that direction.", they said. "Why not?" "Well, the dispatcher asked one simple little question, what kind of gun is it?", "I don't know it's in a holster." The dispatcher educated the caller.
That is evidence of OC progress.
