A family member and I had to go to Woodmans in Janesville today to get stuff to BBQ. We went, very busy today ( Saturday ), I think at least 2 people noticed, but no one said anything. We were in there for about a half hour, checked out, and went back home. Overall I'd have to say for being a bit nervous with it being my first time, everything went better than I could have expected, especially with it being very busy. Hope this story helps someone else who's nervous about it. I cannot wait until my next time!

Carry On,
Thomas

Well done. Your experience is typical. You probably felt like you stood out like a sore thumb, but strangely few if any people seem to notice.

Congratulations for taking that first step. How was the BBQ?

Nice Work. My first open carry was with in the last couple weeks at Aldi. I was so nervous I missed half the stuff on my list. Carry as often as you can.

Great job. Like my 4 year old grandson says, "bring your gun to keep me safe". Carry On
