Default OC in the Lehigh Valley for 2nd time!

I almost forgot to tell you guys, its been awhile since I had been here till today, so before I forgot here you go.

About a month or month and a half ago, it was time to do some running around, so on my Raptor went, and off in my car I go.

First stop was to CVS to pick up my wifes prescription in Northampton, on to Giant in Whitehall on MAcarthur Road, ran in to the bakery department to pick up a sheet cake and some candles down one of the aisles, and not a thing that I noticed. Next was off to the Allentown farmers market to pick up some of Charlie K's pizza kits for a party we were having, and decided to walk through the entire Farmers market past the amish girls and everything. From what I noticed I was rubbernecked twice, but not a sound until I stopped back to Charlie K's to pick up the pizza kits before I left, and a nice gentleman sitting eating a couple of slices simple stated that I could get in trouble for brandishing a weapon like I was, so I kindly told him that this was a simple freedom that too many people dont' know about, and that it was completely with the law, he didnt seem to hesitate and went along with what I said with a raised eyebrow "HMM".

From what I know just the couple of lookbacks at the market and nothing more, so that is my second time doing so in the very left wing Lehigh Valley, so more of you here need to start doing so as well, since I have done it twice now, I need to company. I am starting to get used to this.

its funny how many people just walk around with their heads in the sand. Since I have started carrying whether OC or CC, I have taken a big step towards noticing my surroundings and knowing whats going on around me. Knowing that now, I see all of the other "victims" with their heads stuffed in their shoes while they walk.

Its a shame!

Congratulations Brad! I am making yet another foray into the west end of the Allentown/Whitehall metroplex this morning. Bank, Best Buy, who knows where else? If you want to go out together one of these days, let me know via a PM.

I wonder how many people that see a gun on your hip just instantly assume that you are police or some sort of law enforcement (FBI etc)

I would say that if you're dressed "nicely," most of them.
