First Open Carry at Work

**VinF88** · September 9th, 2010, 02:54 PM

So last night i finally decided to OC at my business. I have only carried during the last winter months when it was colder and it could be concealed easily with a jacket. I have always thought of my customers first and not wanting to make anyone feel uncomfortable - even though they should be humbled by someone carrying - their feelings come first in my book.

My feelings were changed rather quickly however when a frequent customer did somewhat of a double take on my sidearm. He looked up and said hey, good for you. Noticing what he was talking about i said thanks and asked if he was an owner. Even though he wasn't he showed interest and said it was nice to see that i was standing up to those "fuckers" who try to take advantage of businesses.

After giving him a flier, and a handshake he left with a smile.

I think it was a job well done, and i plan on OC much more often if not at all times.

I found my new gas station.

You guys usually the cheapest too.

What gun and holster are you using? How do you transport it to/from work?

I'll leave it locked up there, and i doubt were the cheapest haha, the company we buy from doesn't let us have a chance of competing.

And i have a sig 230 in a desantis holster.

Some of us simply can't carry openly at work, or we'd be out of a job pretty quickly. I've often wished I could (especially since I work in downtown Harrisburg) but that'll never happen. I guess that's one of the perks of being your own boss.

Vin, Where do you work? I live 5 seconds from Broomall.

Sunoco on 320

Being a mechanic makes it tough to carry so don't be surprised if in not armed, however if I'm there late at night i will be.

Yo Vin, I just drove by and saw you outside (I think it was you).

Honk Honk

did you see that accident by the library the other day? Jeep crashed into the light.

I guess he died since there are flowers by the tree

RIP
