So I lied, this wasn't my first time open carrying publicly, but it was the first time I did so when it was daylight and other people were out and about. Prior to this afternoon, I only OC'd when walking around at night by myself and relied on a blade all other time (no CPL yet).
Anyways, I decided to go for a short walk to the Walgreen's at Meridian and Bakerview in Bellingham to pick up some toiletries and snacks. I had been carrying in my apartment all day, and didn't feel like taking off my holster to go two blocks and putz around the store, so I just went out. I felt a little nervous at first, but it didn't take long to get used to the idea.
I only had one person aside from the cashier (who only asked me if I wanted to buy more candy) talk to me, and that was the girl working at the cosmetics counter. She seemed a little nervous, but only asked me if I needed help finding anything, so it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. The single mother with the excitable son said nothing, and nobody called the police. In short, it was open carry the way it ought to be - completely normal.
