Default All Day OC around the Lehigh Valley

Decided to take this Mrs out for the day, shopping, perusing, and general stimulation of the local economy. It was a beautiful day for it, and I decided to go everywhere OC'ing my FNP 45. In eight hours, we covered a multitude of places:

Lowe's 8th Ave (Bethlehem)
Border's Books (Whitehall Mall)
Famous Footwear(Whitehall Mall)
Bed Bath & Beyond (Whitehall Mall)... watch out for that Beyond section
Sears (Whitehall)
Kohl's (Whitehall)
Wal Mart (MacArthur Rd)
Dick's Sporting Goods (MacArthur Rd)
Burlington Outlet (MacArthur Rd)
PetsMart (MacArthur Rd)
Sports Authority (MacArthur Rd)
American Signature Furniture (MacArthur Rd)
Chili's Restaurant (Grape St)
Army Navy (Grape St)...got a few looks, but no one said a word
Best Buy MacArthur Rd
The Cup ice cream shop (Linden St Bethlehem)

no drama, nothing...

Oh, and Army Navy has .223 and 5.56, a few AK's and AR's, and 30 round mags... SHOCKER.

I couldn't find the new boots I want, so I shopped online while OC'ing, too.
Optics Planet has the BlackHawk weatherproof shit kickers for $135 (wide version available for every size, too)

And you didn't get kicked out of the online store? No police kicking in your door for a man with a gun?

I was just down in the area 2 days ago, and I was OC'ing around the same area. I had my 8 month old with me, got a few looks, but no one said a word.

WOW, quite a few palces without a single incident. Sounds good and like it was a nice day for you and the wife.

That's pretty much what I do in a week, although Whitehall is like once a month. I've been to almost all those places. Good work.

These are the places from your list I have not been to:

Wal Mart (MacArthur Rd)
Chili's Restaurant (Grape St)
Best Buy MacArthur Rd

Although I have been to them at other locations over and over. Except I don't think I've been in a Chili's since I started OC.

I've been into Best Buy a bunch of times. The loss prevention guy tried to throw me out at one point, but the store manager overrode him. Now he just says hi to me when I walk in the store. He is actually pretty friendly now.

I'll have to OC next time I am in Borders. The one guy who works there used to be a boss of mine, and he would probably go ballistic if he saw me in there with a gun out in the open. But, I am the all powerful customer now.

Most of the time it is a SIG Sauer P220 in a Blackhawk Serpa. Lately in the hot weather I have been carrying a Smith and Wesson M&P 9c in a Desantis thumb break.

Serpa looks nice - features too----but I have a Beretta Border Marshall (Brigadier Slide) that is too wide for the standard 92FS Serpa. Does Blackhawk make one for the wider Brig. slide?
