I am 22 years old and I live in Decatur, Georgia. I received my GFL in April of this year and have been CC ever since but after reading this forum I was definately interested in giving OC a try. I am just not comfortable with CC for various reasons. On Friday night I OC into a fedEX/kinkos. When I walked in I heard the lady behind the counter talking to her co-worker and she asked him why does he have a gun and he replied something about my rights but I couldn't quite make it out. I walked further away from them trying to find a fax machine, when I couldn't I turned and after a quick smile asked where the fax was they pointed me to it, I faxed what I needed to held a two - three minute conversation with the lady about traffic and left. It was a very interesting feeling, but it felt like it would soon become comfortable. On Sunday at around 4:00PM I decided to do my weekly grocery shopping so I headed down to the Krogers on Dekalb Industrial in Decatur and OC for about 30-40 minutes while in the store, I only noticed three people looking at me. The store manager and security guard were in the front as I was changing aisles and they both looked at me, the manager actually pointed, I just kept shopping and pretended like I hadn't noticed. I finished up and got into line at a register right in the middle of all the others, not on purpose (shortest line). The cashier was a young female and seemed a little uncomfortable, butbefore I entered the store I put my debit card in my left pocket so I wouldn't reach around my gun to grab my wallet. The manager and security guard were in front of the register I was checking out and paid no attention to me but definately knew I was there. I left without having any incidents. It felt great and like I said before I can see this becoming a lot more comfortable. It already is physically.
