Deer In The Headlight Look?

these days bring a different interaction with the public, now that we have the Blessed cards. We can use this thread to report cases of Mooooooooooon eyes! from our adoring public.

on the way home stopped at my little arab guy, get my smokes, a lotto ticket, and yes, even a can of beer. one in front of me, 2 behind. it's cold so i am c, my turn, lift my coat to access wallet, pay and thank (politeness is required), give a glance over my shoulder, and guy comfortable back a bit from me giving me Moooooooooooooooon eyes. he didnt move, but i bet i made his night. thought to myself as i left; you aint seen s**t till you see me Open next spring/summer/fall there moooooooon eye guy.


AND NOTHING HAPPENED.

Sweet. Of course as more of us carry and they see us out in the open it will make the crims think twice before trying a "hit and run" on you or anyone within your fire zone.

Carry on...

I don't get it. Celebrating the fact that you are drawing attention to yourself?

Point being what ?

Legal to open carry ain't it ?
No law against printing is there ?
People are FREE to do as they choose....... No reason to rain on his parade.......unless you found yet ANOTHER case law again.

McX, you EARNED this joy and thanks for sharing.....Carry proudly Pard.
Can't wait til I can start.

I am all for celebrating our victory of legally carrying concealed as an option.
This thread appears to be celebrating the surprised reaction (moon eyes) from people who see a firearm not the fact that if we have a license that we may now conceal. I celebrate the fact that I carry openly and nobody notices. The day when firearm carry is normalized and nobody is making the MWG calls because they expect to see reasonable responsible adults carrying a handgun is truly a day we should all celebrate.

He is celebrating his rights. You can't dictate how he does so, no matter how much you would like. Carry on, MCX!

Who is dictating anything?
I asked a question. How about answering that question?
I made no comment and have no concerns whether someone carries concealed or openly. I carry openly most of the time even with my license. Nobody seems to notice. If they do notice and appear alarmed (moon eyes) I do not see that fact as a cause for celebration. It is a symptom that there still needs to be more public education.

The people will get used to it, after awhile they won't even care. MCX was just doing some social engineering.

Still considered concealed, but if you have your CCL, it does not matter.

As I read it, he was celebrating the humor and novelty of someone noticing his side arm and having a visible effect on that person.
