It's been a bit since we had a Lynchburg area OC report thread, so I figured I'd give it another go. I'll start with the weekend just past.
Friday night, ate at Milano's Italian Restaurant in the Boonsboro area (Boonsboro Rd at, not in, Kroger shopping center) and OC-ed as I've done here on most occasions since discovering this place this summer. No issues whatsoever. Headed over to Wally World on Wards Rd where the wife and I walked around to burn some calories and do a little shopping. A young black muslim man and his wife (assumed muslim due to wife's garb) stopped me and asked about my holstered handgun. We chit chatted for a minute and the Wal-Mart worker ladies nearby commented to him that carrying a gun openly was perfectly legal. We wrapped up conversation and I gave him an OC card from a pile that Skidmark had given me a while back. That was the second OC card given out that week;the first was to a young man clerk at Kohl's who already seemed to know some about Virginia's gun laws.
Saturday I OC-ed at the local Ruby Tuesday's for lunch and had no issues as has always been the case when I go in. Saturday night the wife and I had dinner and OC-ed at Logan's Roadhouse, where I OC regularly and chatted with the staff and management without issue.
Sunday: After church the wife and I went to the Blue Dahlia in Forest (on Grave's Mill Rd near Forest Rd, behind the Chevron, across the tracks and down the hill a bit towards Boonsboro for you locals) where we've been regular customers a couple times a week for about a month or so now. I OC-ed as I do other times when I'm not on my lunch break from work and had no problems at all. The restaurant is a nice diner type spotthat has ahomestyle menu, butjust recently added beer and wine to go with their new weekend dinner hours. That afternoon I OC-ed at the Campbell County dump transfer station and Lowe's on Timberlake without incident. AtLowe's I chatted about generators with a retired electrician for about 20 minutes and nary a word was said about the handgun at all. As is usually the case: No issues.
Today: The wife and I headed over to La Carretta Mexican Rest. on Ward's Ferry Rd where the both of us OC regularly. Tonight I was the only one carrying so I OC-ed without incident. The staff and management know us and greet us as regulars accordingly.
