Went to guns galore today in Fenton, MI and looked at some S&W M&P 15's. Left there and stopped for a quick lunch at McDonald's while open carrying. A few looks, one employee kept sweeping the floor around us. She was close enough to eaves drop on our conversation. Occassionally I would glance over and notice her smiling in response to our conversation. Good experience and uneventful.

Hey everyone. Tonight, I OC'ed at the Denny's that my wife and I frequent. Thought I would let everyone know, zero incidents occurred. Three waitresses and several patrons, and one of the mgr's noticed that I was OC...it was no big deal to them. It appears that the general public is becoming desensitized to it. That can be a good thing and a bad thing. Good thing: no more hassles....bad thing: criminals wont care that people OC.

I will post more OC adventures and experiences as they happen.

Have a great night everyone.

Oh I think the criminals will always care that we OC.

Good to know about that Denny's

Well I did it for the first time today. Went to silver bullet first, so obviously no trouble there.  Then went and picked up a movie from the video store and pizza from Little Caesars. Both were dead, so it wasn't too bad. Right as I was paying for my movie though a lady walked in.  She stood real close behind me at first and out of the corner of my eye caught her looking down.  She then took a decent size step back.  I did have my 1 1/2year old daughter with me too.  All in all it wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be.

My g/f, her daughter and I stopped in at the Dundee Dairy Mart. It was relatively busy. As I was standing back waiting on my g/f at the counter I did notice only one person noticeably interested in what I was carrying. A young man 10-12 years old with his mother was rubber necking around other customers to see my sidearm. No others noticed as far as I can tell. We left there and went to Walmart in Monroe to pick up eyeglasses for my g/f. We were there about 15 minutes with business as usual. It was a good night.

I obviously do not frequent the forum here often.  The last couple of years have been less than enjoyable.  I have been open carrying for almost two years.  Just recently moved to Greenville and I must say, that I have found no intolerance here so far.  I open carry everywhere, including Meijer and Walmart with no problems so far.

I was at one of our gas stations a month ago and a woman asked me if I was carrying a tazer.  I said "No.  It is a Glock 9mm"  She said "Oh"

Other than that, I don't think most people take notice.

OC'ed everywhere I went today as usual. Come to find out I went to an auto parts store today for a new air filter that had an armed robbery last night. None of the employees said a word and were actually very nice.

OC'ed friday at Hurley medical center in Flint. Well, one of their buildings just outside the ER, no issues. OC'ed bed, bath and beyond, target, best buy and many other places around Flint. Today I walked through the Genesee Valley mall OC'ing, there really are no good stores there anymore other than a couple and Sears. No issues, few looks. FYI, was at Gander Mountain tonight, guess the talk from the white house geared some people up. Saw 5-6 AR-15 types being sold almost at the same time to different people.

OCed at Top Gun in Taylor a few weeks ago and was asked if I was a LEO.  I responded that I was a former LEO and asked why they wanted to know.  I was then told that they only allow OC for LEOs but CC was OK. When I asked why they gave me some BS answer about Range safety issues.  Guess I just made my last purchase from them...

I CC'd when I went in there last week to get my new FNS9.  If I had been OCing I probably would have CC'd if asked because 399 for a gun with MSRP of 629 was too good of a deal to pass up.  I quit going to Peter's because of their no OC rule and it sounds like I won't be going back to TG for my 3 months free range time. 

OT: I OC'd at the dentist the other day (again) when I removed my jacket.  Mostly been in CC mode with the weather.  I carry OWB in a Safariland 6280 most of the time but my Carhartt covers it pretty well.

OCin at my local PD right now, waiting for a purchase permit.  They just got the FAX about HB 5225 and it taking immediate effect so I had to give them the run down on it because the test is no longer required.  Not sure if anyone has noticed me OC there's another guy waiting for a PP and I'm not sure if he saw it.  So far so good.  This is my 1st time OC while stopping in.

OCed as usual (Meijer, etc.) but today I OCed somewhere I usually never tread: my State Farm insurance agent's office.  No issues.
