So, I spent the whole day today doing my honey-do's with my XD 40 on my hip. Went to Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Conoco, Safeway, the local Chinese Restr. and not a sole even looked at me funny. But I did notice a few wanta be gang bangers did'nt stick around very long when I went to pay for my gas. All in all, a great day to OC.
Just as a side note. I had asked a few people the night before how they perceived people with guns. And wow was I surprised how most of the people around herefeel. EVERYONE I spoke too believed in less gun control. Maybe it's because I live in a small town, or maybe the crimes that have been comitted here have made a big impact on their lives. Even the city LEO agreed "open carry should beexercised more often by responsable citizens".
I would have to admit, I have always been concerned about othersreactionswhen they see me. But now my mind has been set at ease a little. None the less, I feelmore relaxed when I OC, and I hope others will to.
