Interesting story here today. On the way home from Wal-Mart to get a few things I stopped at Sheetz to get a drink, some lunch and some gas on the other side of I-81 here in Chambersburg.

As I was filling up, a truck with a camper pulled up in the vacant spot behind me. I noticed the Ontario tags. The driver proceeded to get out and filled up his tank, all the while watching me. My strong side was facing him. Afterwards I went in to order and pay for my food, he did the same. As I was standing there waiting for my order he struck up a little small talk.

Him: "Interesting you have an exposed pistol like that. Are you a cop"?
Me: "No sir, just a regular citizen"
Him: "I'm from Canada and this is something you don't see up there at all unless you're a cop"
Me: "Well the laws concerning firearms are very different down here".
Him: "Well yes, but out in the open like that"?
Me: "Depends on the state. Here in PA you can. In NY for example you can't".

We continued our conversation about carry laws in America and I gave him a flyer. He told me he had long guns in Canada for hunting, but no handguns as the laws are much more strict up there. He said its not worth the hassle. I told him some states in America are like that, but after the SCOTUS ruling hopefully things will be changing here soon. We talked for a few minutes about guns and hunting before we returned to our vehicles. Overall it was a good OC encounter. He was more curious than anything.
