Hey guys! Name's Cole, I'm brand new to the community so I thought I'd share some of my limited OC experience with everyone
So A few weeks ago I bought my first handgun in a private sale (can't get 'em from a dealer yet as I'm only 19) and have started selectively OCing in the Coeur d'Alene area.
So far my experience has been positive. I've OC'd several places, mostly when I'm alone at night, and today I OC'd in the Hayden Albertsons, accompanied by my roommate and his gf (both unarmed) after we all just got done with a shooting trip. An older guy noticed and said, and I quote, "Kick ass! Is that a real pistol?" I laughed and responded "Yep, Springfield XD, .40 cal!" and a short, friendly conversation followed. He asked if I was one of "those kids from post falls" and I said "Oh, no, but I know who you're talking about, I read about 'em in the paper." conversation carried on a little bit, and wrapped up with him basically praising me for OC, saying he's still too nervous to do so himself, and said "kick ass" at least one more time
So that's the highlight of my experience so far. any more CdA area stories from you guys? can you refer me to any especially 2A friendly areas as I'm still pretty green with the whole thing lol
It's good to be on board!:banana:
