I open carried in public for the first time today. I was around the house for the first part of the day, and then had to go downtown. My fiancee was a little nervous, but she settled down after a while. We got lunch at Sheetz gas-station on 705/Chestnut Ridge. No one seemed to notice really, although a clump of three employees gave me a look until I took my items up to the register with cash in had. Then we went to a friend's apartment, and later for a walk around town.
We entered Bead Monster on High Street, and no-one noticed or gave me a look. I was working very hard at SA, which is definitely a habit, and hard to keep up. We walked around town for an hour or two. On the way home, I stopped to get milk at the Valley Mart on Van Voorhis RD, no problems there.
No one really gave me a look, or talked to me, or confronted me. There was a woman who had her kid's neck in a death grip as she passed me, but it might have been unrelated. All in all, I think it went very well, and was a successful first day.
I LEO drove by on the street, but didn't look twice. I think most people either aren't aware enough of others, or just assume it's a cell-phone holder or ipod thing.
I'm going to try and schedule the OC Brunch soon, I'm going to go to Eat n' Park, and see if they mind if we meet there. More soon.
