First comments when O.C.

[J.W.]

Got hungry last night around 6:30 -7. Didn't have the kids so i decided i would take a walk to the local gas station, grab smokes, and then pick up a samich on the way home at Pizza Como. I've carried openly numerous times before with no positive or negative responses, just the wierd looks. Made it to the gas station no sweat, got my sandwich no problem, about a block from my house, guy on his porch yells "hey man, you got a permit for that?" I reply back that i didnt need a permit because O.C. is legal in PA. Doesnt this guy get off his porch, walk up to me, and lift up his shirt to reveal a small revolver in a holser in the small of his back. he was a little upset that he had been conceal carrying for years (with a permit of course) with the idea that open carrying was illegal. After that, i basically spent the next hour - hour and a half filling the guy in on the legalities, talking guns, housing markets, you name it and we chatted about it. It was a good time although my sandwich got a little soggy. It would really make my day if i see that guy around town open carrying. Overall, im glad my first O.C. incident was a good one.

Great story! Where is the Pizza Como in Hamburg? I usually don't get too far into town, staying on Old 22 on my way to Cabela's.

Well done! Sounds like you might have made a new friend to talk to on your munchy trips too!
