Broke the OC cherry today

[MrUgly]

And by that I mean I OC'd when doing my usual stuff, not just a PAFOA event.

This is how it went down.

I left for the store, got there, grabbed my reusable bags (reuse/recycle FTW) and headed inside. As I was getting a cart, I smiled at one of the 'Helping Hands' guys and went on. I did my usual circuit; bakery for bagels, deli for meats. I was mildly uncomfortable, but I didn't notice anyone giving me the stink-eye. Except for one of the stock-girls. She looked at me, smiled quickly, and averted her eyes.

Huh.

Off to frozen foods. Passing by the detergent aisle, a soccer mom makes eye contact, shakes her head and moves on. I remain resolute. I am exercising my rights, I am MIGHTY! Frozen pizzas, tortellini, Boca burgers. Wandered back to the bakery to see if the bagels I wanted were ready. Fresh Wegmans Multigrain flaxseed bagels. Mmmm. I check my list, head to the check stand. As I round the corner, I notice a little boy, maybe 5, looking at me. I smile and walk on. I get in line, throw my goods on the belt. The cashier smiles at me and starts ringing up my stuff.

Just has just thanked me for my purchase and leans over.

Her: "Sir, I hope you won't be offended."
**Me thinking:, 'Here we go..'
Her: "It's just that your fly is down. I thought you should know."
Me: 'Uh, *looks down* Yeah, thanks.'
Her: "Oh! You have a gun, too. Is that legal?"
**Me thinking: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You notice my zipper before my 1911?
Me: "Yes ma'am, perfectly."
Her: "Oh, well have good holiday."

Mentally, I facepalmed so hard I gave myself a concussion.

LOL, I guess that explains the looks.

Except for one of the stock-girls. She looked at me, smiled quickly, and averted her eyes.

I get that all the time from stock girls. I prefer girls with aftermarket mods

I OC all the time. And whenever I think someone looks at me funny I always check my fly. Its been down a couple times too. But my gun is always in its holster secured. Congrats

Hope you weren't in commando mode........

[uniballin]

Hope you weren't in commando mode........

LOL

That happened to me in college. I ran out of underwear and didn't have enough money to do laundry (boy was I broke), so I went commando for the day. I was with a female friend (who actually became my future girlfriend ) and all of a sudden, she screamed. "OH MY GOD, IT'S OUT. IT'S OUT!"

Yea, never went commando again.

Anyway, congrats on the OC. Keep it up.

[ByAnyMeans]

So your pistol was secured but your gun had free run of the place, gave me a hell of a laugh today.

[Lachrymalex]

So, she noticed that you were open carrying, before she noticed you were open carrying?

[ungawa]

and all of a sudden, she screamed. "OH MY GOD, IT'S OUT. IT'S OUT!"

Goodness gracious, did you let a 20-foot king cobra loose on the poor girl? LOL

After the punchline, your OC story has totally different meaning.

As I was getting a cart, I smiled at one of the 'Helping Hands' guys and went on.

And your fly was down.. what was he thinking about your smile? "Is he hitting on me"

Except for one of the stock-girls. She looked at me, smiled quickly, and averted her eyes.

She was thinking "Pervert"

a soccer mom makes eye contact, shakes her head and moves on.

"Silly man can't even dress himself"

I am MIGHTY!

Mighty oblivious

I notice a little boy, maybe 5, looking at me.

"Geee even I know how to pull up my zipper"

I smile and walk on.

"Stranger danger... Stranger danger!"

After you OC for a while, you become oblivious to all those people and their reactions. Even if your zipper is down.

Next time trying OC'ing in a pair of whitey tighties.

I've been "commando" for about 40 years. I've never had an instance where "it was out". If Cupids Battering Ram feels the slightest bit of cool air or any other difference in surroundings in the land of lint, even from a hole in my pocket, it gets my immediate attention.
