Okay guys, I know I've been asking some far out questions lately trying to get around CC. My damn CPL hasn't come it yet. Hurry up will ya!
I returned home on Friday from a two week hitch on my tugboat(work) and got to go around with my new pistol.
I went with my wife to Walmart and open carried through the door, not a mention from anyone. Still a little nervous I kept to myself and carried close to my cart for another five minutes. No mention yet andmy confidence went up a great deal. I let my wife push the cart for a bit and nothing happened. Towards the end of my visit I spoke with a manager and he said nothing.
The day went on with a couple stops at some spook stores (Happy Halloween fellas) for the kids. Nothing again.
My wife insisted on Costco, so I locked it in the glovebox and went shopping there. Then clean out of thin air she asked for dinner at the Olive Garden, hid it away again and ate dinner.
It wasnt til Monday that we went shopping for a new car, before anyone said anything about my gun on my side. A salesman asked if I was a cop! I responded "no". Then another salesman chimed in asking if I was any kind of LEO, again I responded "no". A third salesman (he may have been a manager)hollared over to the others and said " you guys, he's just SMART, can't you see he has a beautiful wife and a newborn baby!!!" made me feel fricken GREAT that someone else knew that this was OK. He and I educated the other two salesmen.
Well thats my first OC story.
