    Default First OC (any carry) Experience

    Today was the first day that I OCed. My girlfriend, and a friend of mine went to Musikfest. Surprisingly I received very few looks, and even fewer comments, a couple police clearly saw I had a weapon and didn't even give me a second look. After that we went to Walmart and Burger King, all without a single look. Overall a very good experience.

    Glad to join the boards!!!

    Welcome on board. OCing is one hell of a self-confidence builder.

    OH GOD!!! LOOK WHAT WE STARTED... Musikfest is ruined for everyone now...

    Honestly, good report, glad you didn't have any issues. It's always nice when you can enjoy a right without having to actively defend it every minute of the day...

    Carry safely!

    And don't think you're off the hook, voters, you're the ones who made this bed. Now you're the ones who are going to have to move over so a gay couple can sleep in it. Tomorrow you're all going to wake up in a brave new world, a world where the Constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones, created in a stem-cell research lab run by homosexual doctors who sterilize their instruments over burning American flags. -- Stephen Colbert

    I meant at Musikfest...

    I've never run into anyone else OCing, ever...with the obvious exception being OC Dinners. This area isn't that large either, I would think I would have run into someone...
