So after the group meet I decided to UOC for the first time without a group. I started the day off at kinko's and made up about 10 copies of the flyers. I went to my local AM/PM to get my smokes. The lady behind the counter gasped at the gun and said it was pretty cool.
Our dishwasher drain hose broke so my father and I went to home depot. No one really noticed. We were hungry and decided to go to the local carneceria for some chicken fajitas. I also picked that spot cause it is in a shady neighborhood and also has a security guard who open carries. As soon as we entered the guard noticed and gave me a look. I saw him go to the back of the store and get another older security guard. They both stood at the front door and watched me as I shopped. This is where it gets interesting.
I went to the back of the store to get onions and avacados. My father was at the meat counter next to the security guards. He was getting chariso! (spelling?) Anyways two younger guys who looked straight out of central casting as gang members. Tatoos and baggy clothes. They went to the security and complained that I had a gun. The security guards pretty much ignored them. They then got louder so that even I could hear them in the back of the store. By now everyone inside was staring at me. There were about 25 people in the store at the time. My father chimes in at this time and informs the younger gentlemen that it is not illegal. They then ask for confirmation from the security guards. Security informs them that it is in fact legal and they do not mind one bit. My father then suggest to the concerned gentlemen that they read the Constitution. They replied back in spanish then said "F*ck these crazy white motha f*ckers" then walked out.
I paid for my items and security told me to have a wonderful day as I walked out. They both smiled. I got to my car which was parked right in front of their front door. I started it up and look up at the door to find EVERYONE in the store staring at me. I simply waved and left.
On my way home my father needed some vodka so we stopped at smart and final. No one noticed till my father mentioned something to the cashier. (pro tip don't shop with dad! He may always pay but he has a big mouth!) This led to a group surrounding me outside asking all sorts of questions in a positive way.
All in all a great day and I wish I would have printed out more flyers. I ran out at smart and final and their were more people who wanted some more info. I simply told them to come on down to opencarry.org.
