    Default A few OC encounters

    Yesterday was at a local McDonalds with my wife and young daughter. OCing my S&W 627 PC revolver (5 inch barrel). A retired Philly PD (older gentleman) asked me if I was LEO, and then we talked about safety and use of deadly force. He was actually very nice, and when he saw me sit down with my young daughter and wife, he smiled and said, 'Now it makes even more sense'.

    At a local diner / restaurant for breakfast with the family. Got up to pay, and saw an entire table of people turn around in the seats and stare at me (from across the restaurant). It certainly is strange to see 5 people turn in their seats and stare right at you with big eyes. (although they were probably saying the same thing about me: it's certainly strange to see a big revolver). Maybe they were all trying to determine exactly what make and model the gun was.

    Sounds like an OCers version of the Voice. All the seats turn around...you are moving to the next round!
