So a friend and I were casually checking out some Cabelas gear when I stopped to try on a jacket. I took my vest off and my friend says "you have a pistol on?" (owb Fist K2 high ride with my Springfield XDSC .40 in it) and walks briskly away to another department.
I caught up with him on the way out and said nothing. We were in the car and he says "that was totally illegal man"...I found this disconcerting seeing as how he is a gun owner a hunter and outdoorsman and didn't know the laws on carry. Good thing was, he never knew I carried every day so I guess it caught him by surprise. I explained how if you carry daily, OC or CC it becomes natural to the carrier, a part of your daily dress like wearing a belt and people need not be afraid of the scary black weapon, and understand there are more sheepdogs among us.
I took the time to encourage him to be prepared, even if we live in paradise, bad things happen and not to be paranoid but I care about my family enough to defend them with deadly force if I have to.
