To ring in the New Year, I broke my dry spell and invited a friend to lunch today. This friend is aware of my activities, they howeverare not able to participate in open carry activism.
It is also notable that the frequency of burglary and robbery has recently increased according to local news.
I carried my Ruger P-89, magazine in the well,12031 compliant in a level three retention holster strong side. Weak side I carried two loaded magazines as well as my digital recorder. I was dressed casually- too casually to be mistaken for a professional. (Knit sweater, Dickie's work jeans.)
I first stopped at Kent's Market to top off my fuel. Went inside an waited in line a substantial amount of time as customers entered and exited nearby. I paid cash and fueled up without receiving looks or comments.
I drove to Applebee's where I met my friend and we gave his new ride a looksee before we went in. It was at the top of the lunch hour and the place was crowded. Despite this we were seated promptly after walking past about half the patronage. No one seemed to notice. We ate, paid and as we were on our way out a couple of patrons stepped in while we held the doors- and a half dozen or so on their way out took advantage of our hospitality. Only comments received were 'thank you's' for holding the door.
I asked my friend if anyone seemed to notice or care- he affirmed my conclusion. No one noticed, no one cared, or they had deduced that I was somehow 'authorized'.
