Hello all, just another non-eventful OC last night with my wife and one of my sons. After work we met up at home and went out to Covington Walmart, Kimber 1911 on my right hip, backup mag on left hip. Walked right in and followed my wife around for a while while she browsed the ladies clothing section. We were specifically there to look at tennis rackets, so we made it over to the sporting goods area and I hit up the ammo counter first. There were 3 or 4 other people standing around the counter and the employee helping one of them. Let me tell you, the ammo shelves there looked like a post-apocalyptic wasteland... Well, not exactly, but it was true for the .223 and the .45 ammo I wanted. (Skunked again) My wife did notice one woman give me a nasty stink-eye as we passed another aisle, but I didn't see it. No luck on the tennis rackets, we left and went over to the Payless Shoes near there so my darling wife and son could get shoes. Several people in there, no comments or "looks" that we were aware of. After shoe shopping, went across the street to Carl's Jr for dinner. Employees were great, no mention, and several customers in there saw my sidearm but no one freaked-out or gave any negative feedback. Wow, almost done, last stop at Target in Kent (east hill). About 9:15 by now, no encounters the whole time, did get those tennis rackets here. :celebrate So, a few hours out among the population, and nothing bad to report, no police called, no nasty store managers, no frightened patrons, no zombies... We'll go to Reber Ranch later today and see what happens. I expect, nothing, since I've been there many times OC'ing with no problems.
Sorry if this post is long for a non-eventful OC post, I just think it is encouraging for those of us who read these boards and have not OC'd yet or are very new at it and need to see what it is usually like to OC. I hope this helps you guys out there. I'd like to meet up with anyone around the Kent, Covington, Auburn area sometime to get to know anyone around me that OC's. I met a bunch of the guys last year at Jarhead's BBQ in Tacoma. Interested, PM me...
