Standing in line at the bank, eating at a restaurant, or just walking through a strip mall. On many occasions I've had people come up to me and provide both positive and negative feedback with regards to me OCing.
I have several stories I could tell, but this happened to me yesterday and I have to share. I wouldlove to hear other stories.
Yesterday, I was standing in line at my bank with about 20 other people waiting to reach a teller. All of sudden I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to thelady who joined line behind me. She said, "Thank you for carrying a firearm. I feel so much more comfortable." I explained to her that it was my pleasure and anecessity for my own safety. She then proceeded to tell me the following story.
2 years ago her sister broke up with her boyfriend and needless to say he didn't take it very well. He started threatening her andstalking her on a regular basis. So shegot a restraining order and bought a firearm. She took a few training classes and learned how to shoot. A few months passed with no real problems and the sister thought that the ex-boyfriend had finally gotten over the break up. Her roommate convinced her that she didn't need the firearm anymore,:banghead: so she sold it to a friend. One week later the ex-boyfriend broke into the house in the middle of the night and stabbed her sister 120+ times. Her sister never had a chance.
As she was telling me the story I could see her tears welling-up and I felt my own start to come. She thanked me again for OCing and then I heard the "BING" from the teller, that was ready to help me.
