Tuesday, I was shopping at West Plains Wal-Mart, and as I was checking out, the cashier asked me "So why do you carry a gun?" I responded "To keep someone from messing with me." She said something to the efffect of "No way, I'm serious, why do you carry a gun?" This was repeated three times before she asked if I was law enforcement. I told her that I was,( I hardly ever wear a badge when in plain clothes except when working etc. to support open carry.) I then told her that if I was wearing a badge she would not have asked about the gun. As it was, she did ask, and I had the opportunity to explain to her and the next customer in line, that OC was legal. She then responded with the old "as long as you have a permit, right?" etc. I informed her that no permit is required to OC only to CC. She was shocked and then told me that there had been a lady OCing in the store some time previous. She then stated "So she's legal" etc. For the first time to ever be stopped in Wal-Mart after 11 years of OC the event was positive, and I had the chance to "witness".
