I just turned 21 yesterday and bought a Kimber 1911 Tactical Pro II. I have fired 1911s many times so I felt comfortable with it. I got up the nerve to put it on and made sure it was visible over my jacket. My first stop was Liquor Barn and I don’t think anyone noticed until I went to check out. The lady asked me what I did. I asked her what she meant by that. She then asked, “Is that a real gun?” I responded with yes and that I am in the military. She asked more about what it takes to carry with regards to permits and I told her how lax Kentucky laws are and that you only need be 18 to open carry. I then informed her and the manager that the ‘No Concealed Deadly Weapons Allowed’ sign outside was not a legal sign. I didn’t even see it coming in but she informed me of it. I talked to the manager a little more about it and they both seemed really interested in carrying themselves. I then went on to Kroger and all I got there were a few long looks and a few whispers behind my back about it. I can say that I probably won’t be as nervous about it next time.
