Thankyou for all of the replies and welcomes! I OC'd for the first time last night. I decided to just take a short walk around the neighborhood with the dog. I was definitely a little nervous about it, but it turned out to be very uneventful. I started out walking around the neighborhood behind my house and once I felt a little more confident I decided to walk down main street. I only received a couple of "strange" looks, but nobody said anything about the gun. I think the majority of people didn't even notice. I was wearing a pretty light colored t-shirt and cargo shorts with a full-size XD 40 in a holster, so it was pretty noticeable in my opinion. I ran into 2 groups of young people during the walk who wanted to pet the dog... I was really surprised that they just stood around me petting the dog and I didn't hear a single comment about the gun. Overall, it was a good experience. I didn't cross paths with any LEO's, so I still don't know how they are going to react when they see me OC in town. I think after a couple more walks I'll be ready to try OC in some of the local businesses. I see a couple of replies from people in Stoughton, Janesville and Beloit, looking forward to getting to know you guys and hopefully meet you sometime!
