Today I met with my pastor and a couple others from my church at Hibachi Grill in Springfield. I've OC'd there before and all went well. We ended up talking a little bit about carry laws and such. Awesome food. And they bought me lunch. My church family is so great.
Next I went across the street to Walmart to get a bottle of shampoo and a Minecraft gift card for my friend's birthday. Had a couple people who noticed, the clerk in the game section seemed really cheerful and helped me find what I needed. Went to check out and the elderly lady said "That's a pretty green shirt you have on!" (Propper ICE polo in OD). I said thanks and told her it was expensive. lol
On the way home I stopped by my bank, and went through the drive through. The teller told me I'd have to come inside (I wanted to get change for a bunch of coins).
My bank has a "No Weapons" sign, and I've talked to them about it like a year ago. They told me to just use the drive-through. Also, the City Of Fair Grove used to have open carry with a CCW, but they changed a law and knocked the weapons offenses section out of order and now there's a goofy exemption saying you can carry in a school and no exemption for CCW holders (they weren't paying attention when they changed it and didn't update the exemption section. Cops can't technically open carry now. lol).
Since the city code uses the words "readily capable of lethal use," I unloaded my Glock, locked the slide and holstered it. On the way into the bank and towards the counter, like 3 people greeted me, and the lady took my coins and had bills for them in like 15 seconds (same lady I discussed the gun sign with a year ago). The lady that was running the drive through window came over and said "Sorry we couldn't do the change counter through the window." I said, "That's fine." Walked out, got in my car, reloaded and went home.
Pretty good day and an interesting little interaction at my bank (first time I went inside in over a year). Loyal customer for like 10 years now. I still get a free account with them thanks to my mother. haha
