Before my time, I'm afraid. I moved to Greensboro in 2000 to go to UNCG after taking a couple years off between high school and college and liked the area enough to stay on after I graduated. I have friends who went to Grimsley though.

It is good to see another young person taking an intrest in their rights. I went to UNC-G myself(TKE Fraternity). I was kicked out of a "Nuclear Freeze" Conference on the campus for telling the visiting professor that he was a Dumbass after he began bashing Ronald Reagan. This idiot was preaching capitulation to the U.S.S.R.

I OC a USP .45. I don't think anyone mistakes me for a LEO. How many LEOs have beards? I also CC it sometimes but it's a bit uncomfortable and I'm not a big guy so I need to dress like a hoodrat in order to conceal it, and then people are just suspicious of me anyways.

I OC a Glock 17, which is full size by Glock standards. I find that very few people pay any attention to it, probably because it's black, in a black holster. It does look just like the handguns most police carry in the area (Glocks usually), so I guess they might think I'm some kind of officer or something. Honestly though I think most people just don't notice.


Edit: The post below reminded me to mention I carry my G17 in a Blackhawk Serpa as well. I really like the holster and I do recommend it, especially for OC. As the poster below stated, when fully loaded it does feel slightly hefty, but it's not bad compared to most all metal full size handguns.
