Hello everyone,
I've been lurking around the forums for a few weeks now and since I open carried for my first time today, I thought I should post about it and introduce myself. I live in West Seattle and am 23 years old. I bought my first firearm(USP Compact) a few months back and applied for my CCW a little over a month ago.
While my family isn't outright anti-gun, I certainly wouldn't consider them pro-gun. Due to this I was reluctant to purchase a firearm until recently. I am rather serious about self defense; I have practiced Karate for over four years, I always carry a proper knife in any area I am legally allowed to do so. Purchasing and carrying a firearm became a natural extension to this once I thought it out.
So for my first time open carrying I went to Alki Mail & Dispatch and ordered some coffee, made use of a computer and printed some PDF's. The employee that was present was quite helpful and while I'm sure he saw my firearm, didn't even take a take a second glance or comment about it.
My next stop was the Safeway up the hill(California and Admiral). While a few customers did double takes, none of the staff said anything and I completed my shopping without issue. That concluded my fist outing, short and thankfully uneventful.
I would like to end this with thanking the owner(s) of this forum along with the many members for providing a very valuable resource and means of discussion.
