Nice! Folks here might look at your pistol when you're OCing but seldom will they comment on it. I've been OCing here for a year and a half and have had only 2 people comment. One asked what I was carrying and the other wanted to know where I got my holster.
Casper's a nice town. Kind of big for me though, I prefer towns of not more than 20,000 population. Heck, all the towns here are nice, some are just nicer than others.
Welcome home!
Thanks!
We need to live in a bigger "city" because the wife is a paralegal. She did have a job offer in Rawlins, but we drove through and stopped and she wanted to cry (prison vibe, refinery smell, and lethal wind), so she told them no.
She'd probably have to be in Gillette, Casper or Cheyenne, and we liked Casper the best of all three. Waiting to hear back from a realtor in Casper tomorrow about a house we want to rent. Problem is renting a house that will take two smokers with three cats! (We need to rent a house there until we sell our house here.)
While in WY, we got mad dogged by a couple, older out-of-state tourists. Fug 'em.
I told a local about it and he said, "Good, maybe it will keep that type from coming back and deciding to retire here and vote Democrat."
Had only two verbal exchanges about the guns, and both were sweet. One was just "what gun do you carry?"
Here is my fave, posted from my blog (

Went to the McDonalds in Buffalo for lunch. Had the cutest encounter yet. There were three boys in there having lunch alone, without their parents. They were probably ages 8, 10 and 12. Boys immediately noticed my gun. The oldest one asked me, “Are you a policeman?” I said, “Nope.” Kid asked, “Sheriff?” “Nope.” Kid asked, “Highway patrol?” I said, “Nope.” (And thought to myself, “This young man
really knows his different types of law enforcement!”)
Kid looked at the ground for several seconds and then looked up and asked me, “What
are you?” I replied, “A citizen.” Kid looked confused again. I said “In Wyoming an adult with no felony record can openly carry a firearm as long as he’s not engaging in, or planning to engage in, a crime.”
All three kids got excited, asked all kinds of questions. Had a good time chattin’ with them.
When DJ walked back with the food and sat down, they said, “Cool! She’s got one too!”
