Default Saw my first OC'er

I just had lunch at the Broad St Market in Harrisburg. As I was enjoying my broasted chicken & potato wedges I noticed a guy in line for some Chinese food was OCing. He was middle aged white male, close cropped hair cut, blue button up shirt, and had a shoulder holster with what I thought was a Sig but I couldn't quite make it out. This is the first time I've ever seen someone OC in the Harrisburg area. Good to know there are some out there!

We should come up with some sort of "poofa" hand signal we can flash at each other or a handshake!

All very good suggestions!

I might have to play the role of the "anti" next time I see someone OC. Would any of you be pissed if someone did that just to break your balls, as long as it was in good fun?
