good and funny oc encounter last night

[xero1xero]

Let me start by saying i haven't been OC'ing for very long about 2 mos. So last night i make a late night stop at giant eagle after work to pick up a few things. As i'm standing there trying to pick a cereal i hear a man joking around with his wife behind me (not about me OC'ing just in general) and all of a sudden i hear
"hey why are you carrying your gun like that"

now knowing he was already joking around and his question wasn't in an angry voice i turned to him and said
"easy to pick up chicks" and he began to laugh... i then handed him info on OC'ing and explained the true reason i OC myself. He read the info while we conversed in the aisle and thanked me for the info.

Then he said "well let's try this out" and pulled his shirt back revealing his glock in a serpa holster then he says "I need a new chick this one always pesters me" to which his wife responded with a slap to the head. I saw them a little later at the checkout and he was still OC'ing. All in all i'd say it was both a good and fun encounter. I gave him the website info here so hoping he shows up....

If someone were observing the two of you, they might think you were a pair of "Cereal killers".

I believe an award for quickest CC to OC transformation ever is in order.

ungawa,

the info i usually carry with me and that i handed him were a prinout i made of "open carry and what you should know before you do" i carry this with me because i feel it provides alot of useful and informative information along with weblinks to various OC topics found on PAFOA. Also a copy of the municipal OC training manual. I've found both of these get great response when I talk to someone about OC.

this is a link to one of the pieces of info i carry with me http://paopencarry.org/pdfs/mpoetc_oc.pdf

not sure if it was the quickest CC to OC transformation ever.... I guess we'll see if i see him in the area OC'ing again.

A glock in a serpa? How did it not start going off killing people!?!?

Congrats, nicely done.

I would be scouring the news the next day for a man found with an empty holster and a round in his noggini in the parking lot. Not that he was OC but that his female companion may have had retribution for his earlier 'joke' in the store!

I think that encounter gets an A+ or excellent rating. Rep to you.
