I opened carried today and there was a particular encounter of note... An employee of ACME came up to me all and while pointing to my mag holder asked if that was a Taser completely missing my G23 in my serpa on the other hip.
I replied no sir that is not a taser, that is an extra magazine for my gun. I turned and he really went then. My first thought was...Here we go MWAG 911 call...But surprisingly he was open and started to ask a million questions.
Employee-Are you a Cop
Me- No sir, just an armed citizen.
Employee- Was it hard to get your permit
Me- Nope, I dont have one
Employee-
Me- Open Carry is 100% legal to do without a permit and I choose to do that over conceal carry which does require a permit. You should visit DELOC.org and do research alot of your questions can be answered at that site.
Employee- Great, Im'a get me a gun.
Me- Super.. Please be careful and make sure that if you do decide to open carry you are prepared for the possible consequences and you are capable of handling yourself and a pistol in a hostile situation. If not you are going to kill someone and possibly yourself.
Employee- Ok thanks..
Me- NP
Then the guy walks down the aisle and hollers out, which every person hears to his manager I presume, "this guys got a gun"..
Me-SHIT, SHIT, SHIT...NEON light now a blaze over my head...and I quietly countinue to shop. Nothing else came of it thank god...
