So I decided it was time.
Springfield Armory 1911 A1, GI model in a Serpa Blackhawk holster and two loaded mags in a SafariLand double leather pouch. Holster on the right, mags on the left.
Mrs. Flintlock and I went to the Costco in Mission Valley this morning. Digital voice recorder: check, witness: check, open carry brochures: check.
We spent maybe 45 minutes to an hour shopping with not even a raised eyebrow. We checked out at one of the center checkers, where the floor managers hang out, again no problem. As far as I could tell no one even noticed.
On the way home we stopped at a drug store that was near a school so I left my sidearm in the car (Center-of-Mass lockbox), but wore the empty holster and mag pouch on my belt. Again no questions.
Later we went to the library in Mira Mesa that is near Mira Mesa High School so I left it in the car again.
Next we stopped at Game Empire on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. When making our purchase I think the checker noticed the sidearm but didn't say anything. Then we went across the street to Arby's Roast Beef for lunch. Again, I couldn't tell if anyone noticed but no one said a word.
So far, so good. This is fun.
