I was in wally world yesterday, returning an incomplete item. At checkout there was an elderly gentleman and his wife just ahead of me. He saw my 1911 and commented on calibre. Now here is what I consider the creepy part. He bends down and pulls up his pant leg to show a revolver in an ankle holster. It took him a bit to get down there and move the cloth and I commented on his "quick draw". Another story.
Now this is not the first time a CC person has felt he had to whisper to me that he was armed and then proceed to "display" his firearm. SVG and I set up an OC tent at this years Oyster Run. We must have had fifty sixty people do the same thing, over and over. "I'm concealing, See?" would be the accompanying line. "Not anymore!" was our reply.
I think they are all closet Open Carriers that really want to hang it out there, but are, for some reason, afraid to indulge in the Freedom. Proving that they are armed is the creepy part. I need help in understanding this compulsion they have.
How often, if ever, does this happen to you?
