I found other's OC log's on this site helpful and informative so I decided to log in my experiences as well. I'm a 36 year old male, married, with one 9 month old daughter. My daughter, my wife, and a few other experiences by myself and members of my family are the reasons why I now open carry. Everyone seems to wonder about Newark and the surrounding area with regard to OC. I live in this area.

I wore jeans, running shoes, a tucked in T-shirt and a waist length zip up jacket. I carry a Sig Sauer P250 in a Sig black polymer paddle holster. The paddle holster holds the gun a bit farther away from my body than others I've seen but it is great for keeping my jacket from inadvertently concealing my gun.
Went to Capriotti's sub shop in the Newark Shopping center at about 1 pm to pick up sandwiches. A couple waiting for their food noticed but kept right on chatting. Right before I left one of the guys behind the counter making the subs noticed and I think he was just trying to figure out what kind of gun it was. No one said anything and the trip was uneventful. This was my first OC.
In the early evening I went to Happy Harry's in Brookside plaza. I walked around the store for a few minutes, found some medicine (my daughter has a cold), and batteries that I needed. I don't think anyone in the store noticed. I must say I was nervous at the counter because some kids kept getting real close to me and they were kinda behind me. I kept shifting over but they just moved with me ...looking at the candy under the counter. I am really aware of who is around me because I don't want anyone grabbing my gun. Otherwise, this trip was uneventful.
