    Default First time OC

    I go into my bank in Bryn Mawr and fill out a deposit ticket and get in line then talk to one of the financial people in the bank because I need a letter for my broker.

    No one says anything.

    I go to Kinko's to fax the letter to my broker and an older woman comes up to me and says "Am I seeing things or is that a gun?". She was very polite and I told her it is a gun and all she says is "Oh you usually don't see them out, are you a police officer?" I respond that I'm not and that OC is legal in Pa and she responds "I've heard that." That was it there.

    I stop at the Wawa in Wayne and a worker asks me about it along with the cashier and we have a pleasant talk. Nothing negative at all.

    Congrats, man. Just be glad you didn't run into that old lady at Old Country Buffet. That place seems to bring out "the mean" in people.

    I OC all the time and I get "asked about it" only about once or twice a month. (summer, when I OC more)

    Odd that some of you get asked two or more times per trip, no less your first trip....

    Elmar,
    Nice to have a fellow OC'er on the Main Line! I'm in that Wawa in Wayne all the time.

    I've been carrying a 1911 on an owb don hume for +/- 5 years now, sometimes open sometimes a jacket or shirt covers some of it. I've had MAYBE 3 or 4 comments. I never inferred I was a cop, never told anyone they're face made me uncomfortable, never really had a problem. some of these stories(not directed at op) make me wonder....
