Had a Men's Breakfast at my church this morning. 10 guys showed up and about half of them were new faces to me. I'll paraphrase what was said. Someone pointed at my gun and asked if I was a LEO or just security for him (pointing to the guy seated next to me). I replied "No, just a good American. I carry more just to educate and show people that good guys have guns too." Then later another said "I noticed you have a sidearm? Are you a cop?" My reply to him was "No, I am part of a growing movement called Open Carry. I carry this way just about everywhere I go." By this time the whole group was joining the conversation. I had a chance to explain the basics on where it was legal to carry and mentioned opencarry.org. They seemed interested and surprised that it was legal and that I didn't get harrassed everywhere I go. So I had the privilage to give 10 guys a little introduction to OC . I CC on Sundays because I don't want to be a distraction to the message but have OC'd at church for other events. This was by far the most succesful OC I have ever done. I feel good!:celebrate
