It has been about 3 months since I started OCing and I have really been loving it! I have had multiple positive experiences with curious and supportive passerby, and I expect to have many more such experiences. The thing is, I have all these laws memorized and I never find myself with an occasion to quote them!
It isn't that I want confrontation -- I DON'T -- but it is crazy that nobody ever notices!
I went to Wal Mart at 10pm last night, dressed in my usual summer attire of shorts, sandals and a t-shirt (a camo t-shirt!). I pulled into the parking lot and parked right next to 2 Salt Lake County Sherrif's Office vehicles. "Could this finally be my elusive first encounter with LEO?" I asked myself. "Why does TJ get to have all the fun?"
So I turned on my voice recorder and and walked inside. The greeter was a woman who was probably in her 50s, which I thought might get some sort of reaction with my strong side only 10 feet from her, but alas, she turned her back to fiddle with her little radio just as I walked in.
Got a couple looks, joked with a guy and his wife while shopping for cold cuts (nothing firearms related, they never saw it), did my shopping, checked out and walked dejectedly back to my car -- the Sherrif's Deputies had left...
Guess I better get used to the uneventful life of an OCer...
...unless WVCPD would be so kind as to show up at lunch today! :celebrate
