First post on this forum, really glad I found it!
Carried today and yesterday for the first time while running some errands. CVS, Lowe's Foods, and Dunkin Donuts on Peter's Creek in Winston Salem. Pretty receptive overall, just got a weird look or two from some people in the grocery store, and overheard someone saying " . . . yeah, I know, as soon as I saw it." Other than that, I heard a few others talking about my gun behind me in line at Lowe's and Dunkin, the latter was "Well, it says 'Smith and Wesson' on the mag!". CVS was pretty deserted when I went in, but the staff seemed very receptive. Stopped for gas at the Hess/Wilco at the intersection of Peter's Creek and Silas, and they all were pretty receptive as well. The clerks were talking about a girl that got robbed in the parking lot the night before, and were ok with me carrying. Overall, I would carry at all these places again, nothing that seemed too out of the ordinary for me.
