Are you OK?
What did the OCer smell like? I ask cuz some folks say there is a very distinctive odor.
Did any others near by faint or befall a case of the vapors?
Did SWAT show up?
What did any little kids do if any were in the vicinity?
Was he sporting a ugly gun, or one of those petite European metrosexual guns?
Got a photo? I hear seeing a OCer is like Big Foot sighting up in those parts of the country.

Saw my first OC'er up close this morning at the Drayton Cafe in Waterford. He was busy talking with another gentleman, so I didn't bother him. Maybe next time.

So to be clear - the Drayton Cafe had two OCers in it at the same time? That gent & you? Cool! :thumbup:

hey no biggie, if the SHTF chances are if that OCer was one like the hard core OCers like Michigander, Evilcreamsicle, and a host of others here, you'd have been covered. I cannot leave the house unarmed. Tried it once, just couldn't shake the nagging feeling that the one time I needed them I wouldn't have them. Went back, armed up and went about my day in peace but ready for war... because one never knows when all hell will break loose. ;) Nothing worse then bringing a finger pistol to a gun fight or getting caught unarmed by some clowns.

I noticed the use of the word "them". I don't go out of the house without "them" either. :D

I have the same problem...once having gone back and retrieved my pistol after having decided not to bring it on a short drive to get gas for my lawnmower. Don't leave home without it.

There's maybe 2 times I left my house without my firearms. The first time, I went to Mason Urgent care, thinking I had pneumonia, because I felt really bad. Ended up taking an ambulance ride from there to Sparrow hospital in Lansing with congestive heart failure. The 2nd time was 2 years later. Again felt really bad, but in a slightly different way. This time, went straight to the hospital, got admitted with with ulcerative cellulitus in my right leg, and numerous bacterial infections. Spent half a month in the hospital, and then 2 months in a rehab facility.

I'm really afraid to leave my house without my guns now. I figure if I do, I'm doomed to end up in the hospital again. :)
