Hampton Roads - OC reports

[Lincoln7]

I haven't had any issues in Windsor (knock on wood), 1000ydshooter. I've received props from local cops and the general public doesn't seem to mind a bit. Hope to see you around town. I am in my late 20's so don't be afraid to say hi if you think it might be me, haha.

Them's good folk at Windsor Pharmacy. The owner, Bob Parsons, is semi-retired. If you ever got a prescription from him, he WILL call you by name when you return. If you need a scrip on Sunday, he WILL come in and fill it, if you know his home phone number.

You shouldnt have a problem any where in Windsor. Ive grown up there for 40 years and everyone in town is used to seeing me Oc. Might get a few funny looks from "city folk" that have invaded. Ill be home late may ill keep an eye out for ya around town. Im hard to miss, dont exactly blend in.

Based on your name I guess you will see him long before he will see you! :shocker:

pre-Welcome back to civilization 1000ydshooter!

OC-ed to Dicks Sporting Goods to get some rare 45acp ammo!!! Also to Sherrif's Ammo & Police Supplies yesterday.

Went OC tonight to the York County Sport's Complex, for roller skating on the multiuse trail , with the wife and kids on bikes, ( and they still can't keep up with me,lol). No funny looks, and everybody was friendly.

Took a loooooooooong bike ride this afternoon around Norfolk (downtown and elsewhere). Came hope to a toppled over semi and no power. Grabbed my camera and ran into a guy with the same lens as me and he asked about my gun along with whether or not his concealed switchblade was legal or not. I gave him the history of the CHP statute.

 

[ocholsteroc]

OC'ed to dinner tonight with the OC dinner group. Nice to meet all of you. I really do not think anyone notice, even ran into someone from one of the first classes I took.

OC'd at usual haunts today... Walmart, Taco Bell, Farm Fresh and Suntrust bank. No problems but did see something rather odd. I pulled into the lot behind a pickup with several USMC stickers on windows and back of the truck. I exited my vehicle before he did and went in the bank. I came in behind another customer that didn't notice my left hip. I knew both tellers at the windows and said hello. One of them invited the lady ahead of me to her window and the other invited me to hers. I finished my business and noticed she was looking over my shoulder at the front entry area. I noticed the older gent (that had been driving the truck I had parked next to) standing in the entryway between the outer and inner sets of doors. He was just standing there looking at me, not even making a move to open the second set of doors... I made eye contact with him, but his wide-open eyes didn't leave my left hip. I opened the doors and greeted him politely as I passed him. I guess he decided I didn't rob the bank before his entrance because the rest of us were still smiling.

One of the strangest reactions yet. I wonder if he knows the old lady from Farm Fresh a few weeks ago?

In the same situation as the "older gent", we who carry would quickly see the customer's OC and just as quickly know that no BG would OC to a robbery. Safe To Enter

Assuming the "older gent's" lack that awareness, I cannot fault him for pausing before entering into a situation which, in his mind, appeared risky. From his viewpoint, he was exercising a measure of situational awareness.

That being said, if he really feared that there was a robbery about to take place, his remaining in the doorway in the likely path of the exiting robber was not a smart thing to do.

He may have been contemplating calling 911...

If you take the time to ask, you've waiting too long. :lol:

I think my walmart has lots of .45... I will check next time I am up there. Last time I went I saw 40 S&W 9mm 380 and lots of this stuff. I do not recall seeing 45, because I didn't have my glasses on.

I will check

 

[Lolcanoe]

There were four boxes that I could see.Didn't grab any though because the goby decided to give me half a paycheck today, and half tomorrow (I hope.)

 

[45acpForMe]

Yes just got back from Walmart and they had four boxes so I picked them up.

While there I ran into a CC-er and he asked questions about Open Carry and my sidearm. I gave him opencarry.org and vcdl.org addresses so hopefully he will check it out. He seemed to know about CC laws but was going to research more about OC.

My only frustration was that I failed to refill my wallet with OC info cards! :banghead: So I have now refilled it.

ETA: I asked the man working the ammo counter how many came in and he said a case of 20 boxes. So hopefully Federal has started shipping them to Walmart again and the shortage is over. (hopeful thinking)

Pops in York County for a $6 breakfast. Lady behind the desk asked what kind of gun I had and seemed to know what a 1911 was.

 

[Pagan]

I was OC yesterday at the Virginia Living Museum, with my family and some friends visiting from TN. Was there for several hours, a few stares, but no rude comments or gestures, that I noticed.

Fire Mission: Carry on Campus

Should students, faculty and others on college campuses be permitted to carry handguns?

Gotta love that first anti comment. If everybody was allowed to carry guns, we'd look like some foreign country. Which foreign country might that be? England, Australia, Germany, France, Russia, Spain, Italy? :uhoh:
