I'm in Fairview Heights and I have been OC'ing on my property since I've been here (2000)
Yard sales, back and forth to the neighbor, mowing, etc, etc, etc.
Never noticed a look. Until a week and some ago.
Last week my neighbor (elderly greek lady) had her front light post damaged (someone ran it over intentionally.
I called Fairview PD for her and when they arrived I walked over OC'ing to assist in her report. Officer was very helpful on the report and in giving advice as to how to procede in taking care of some other problems we've been having in our neighborhood (speeding, etc).
I swear he looked at my sidearm about 20 times and back to me as if he ws soliciting me to make a comment on why I had a gun on me but I acted as if I didn't notice.LOL Of course they all know I'm a gunsmith, just thought it was funny because he was clearly somewhat perplexed.
