I suppose I should add yesterdays OC experience to my log. Picked up Blackfox for the OC Shootout/Eat Out yesterday. We had breakfast at McDonalds first. While filling up my fountain drink, a gentleman walked up to fill his cup. He told me he was just getting ready to leave but had to come back in when he saw us "coming in carrying guns." I smiled and replied that there was nothing to worry about.. He said something to the effect of "well, reading the newspapers today gets you thinking about that kind of stuff." I smiled and agreed and told him that's why we carry. He nodded his head and told me to have a good day.
Cabella's was fun: no one approached me or even gave me a negative look...well, all cept the guy behind the gun counter. He looked a little suspicious but other than that, nothing really to report. I'll have to say, having guns on your hips really helped me pick out the group and find everyone!
Shootout was fun, then we headed to Smokey Mountain. I work in Eagle and know a lot of the kids who work at the local stores. Sarah, our waitress, recognized me immidiately. Everyone that worked at the restuarant was friendly and generally unconcerned about a group of armed men. A few of the customer's looked curious as to what we were doing/who we were, but no one got nervous and left to my knowledge. I'll see a lot of them at my store when I go back to work in a couple days, we'll see if we get any comments then.
I'm not sure who suggested it, but I like the idea of OCing downtown sometime. I donno, let me know what you guys think.
All in all, great day yesterday and I'm glad to see such a range of ages/personalities in our group. Everyone carried themselves well, dressed appropriately, and treated everyone with respect. I'm proud to be part of the Idaho chapter of oc.org.
