I OC'd for the first time

[1blindref]

Well, I open carried for the first time this past Saturday.

I went to Lee's Hoagies after I was finished shooting (at CP) and I got up the nerve to OC instead of taking off my P226 and leaving it in my car. I was wearing a t-shirt so I couldn't completely cover it so I left my shirt tucked in and my P226 in my Galco OWB holster.
I was wearing my coat over my gun when I walked in, but I wasn't about to keep it on while I ate. I ordered, went to a table, took off my coat and sat down.
I must admit that it felt strange at first. There were about 10 people eating and nobody freaked out or said anything. I'm not even sure if anyone noticed.
When my food was ready, a guy brought it out to me. I know he saw my Sig but he didn't say anything. I watched him as he went back to the counter and he just kept on working - no big deal.
I finished my hoagie, put on my coat, and went up to the counter to pay the bill. The guy that brought me my hoagie took my money and said "have a good day"
Just thought I'd share

Thank you for sharing!
Glad that you had a positive and uneventful experience.
Welcome to the mad, mad, world of O/C

Cool! Now, with one positive OC under your belt, will you do it again?

If you people keep doing this without having the world come to and end, I may even have to consider trying it sometime. Anybody ever OCed in the York area without having people run away screaming?

Yes, I lived there for 7 years. OC'd... occationally.

Or how about someone who couldn't possibly be mistaken for a plain clothes cop .....


I've gone out back with my dogs with my gun like this, but that's pretty much the extent of my OC world.
