I've open carried my 1911 Colt for quite sometime now, and haven't really come across too many major issues.
The other day, I was at the AM/PM off of Pacific Hwy and S 240t st in Kent/Des Moines, and I had gone in after pumping gas. I picked me up some nachos and a sobe, and as I made my way to the counter, I noticed it was a new clerk working there. He was starring at my pistol the whole time, pacing back and fourth. As I got to the counter, he rung me up. I went to reach into my pocket to grab my wallet, and my wallet happened to be in the pocket nearest my pistol.. as I reached down, the clerked flinched big time, and jumped back. I pretended that I didn't even notice him, and I causally handed him the money. His hand was shaking so bad that he was dropping my change all over the counter when he went to hand it back to me.
Wow.. I can certainly understand that it might be fearful for clerks who work in convienent stores like that.. especially during the hours I was there.
