I've been open carrying now for over two years in Nevada and now Utah, mostly gas stations and just walking around the neighborhood with the wife and kids. However, I've never really gone into highly public commercial areas like Smiths or Wal-mart. I decided I was going to carry in Costco and figured I would get fewer comments if i took the wife and kids shopping with my .45 Ruger on my hip. I was dressed in a golf polo shirt and looked respectable. I was there over two hours and nobody from staff or customers approached me at all in regards to the weapon. Probably 15 or 16 employees noticed I was carrying and several customers as well. My wife and I ran into some friends and talked with them and chatted with several other customers and the subject ofmy carryingnever came up. I gotta say I like shopping with it on.
I did see a couple of dudes talking about it but when I looked at them and smiled, they just turned around and walked away.
I asked my wife what she thought of it and she said that she was nervous at first but it went well and she would not be opposed to my carrying again.
