1st Time I Saw Someone Open Carry
Not that big a deal, just an experience I thought I'd share.
I was coming home from work last Friday night, and stopped at a nearby gas station. As I'm filling up, I see a pizza delivery guy pull up to drop off a pizza to one of the employees. When he got out of the car, I noticed an OWB holster on his right hip. Made perfect sense to me, given the nature of his job and the many places I'm sure he's required to go to do his job.
Wasn't concerned in any way, just the 1st time I saw someone open carrying. Actually, I was surprised that he was carrying given that many employers frown upon it."Political Correctness is just tyranny with manners"

Re: 1st Time I Saw Someone Open Carry
I don't think I've ever seen anyone OC. Honestly I think folks around here would run screaming.
I'm sure they would assume you are there to kill them, I mean why else would someone have a gun??

I bet he gets the highest tips out of any Pizza Delivery guy in the state.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”

I saw some cat OCing here in PGH a few weeks ago at Gator's in Bloomfield. He looked like a firefighter or something. That's the first I've seen here in PGH that I can recall.

Re: 1st Time I Saw Someone Open Carry
even more surprising since so many pizza delivery guys have been fired when it became known by the employer they were carrying (because they were put in a position of defending themselves.) Pizza Hut did this on two occasions I know of.
which pizza place was it? I'll have to give them some business.

He had to have a LTCF cause he got out of a car and OC is not legal in a car if you dont have a LTCF.

He had to have a driver's license cause he got out of a car and driving is not legal in a car if you dont have a valid driver's license.
