    NC OC experience reports

    I went to Raleigh a early in May, my son works in a restaurant down there. They sell beer, but living in VA, I forgot about the prohibition on OC'ing into a place that serves alcohol. Is that still a thing? No one said anything, so no harm no foul, I guess. Also went to H-Mart and had no...

    Been to Gourmeltz in Fredericksburg a few times for meetups with friends, had a few good conversations about my purty 1911. Not even a funny look from anyone.

    Hampton Roads - OC reports

    Took the wife for breakfast at the Plaid Turnip in Suffolk. When I stood to go, a lady looked at me and said "Wow" and gave me a dirty look. I told her "Have a good day" and walked out. That's as close as I have came to any reaction as I have been OC'ing without a mask through all the stupidity.

    VA-ALERT: VCDL is organizing NOW to fight back - we need YOU to do your part!

    Are we, really any more? I don't see a whole lot of the limited powers covered by the Constitution and the Supreme Court is more than willing to support expansions of the State. (wickard vs filburn, obamacare ruling, ect. ect)

    Hampton Roads - OC reports

    I realized that was the best course of action about a minute too late. After 6+ years of carrying with no negative encounters with people, one problem with police and being kicked out of one store, I was totally taken by surprise this time. Hope it doesn't happen again, but I should do a...

    Hampton Roads - OC reports

    Had my first run in with a crazy person. In the Lowe's on Suffolk Main Street, I hear a lady say "You have a gun, Why would you have a gun in here?" I looked at her, but didn't reply. Lady: You don't look like a cop, I don't even think cops should carry off duty, but you're not one, right...

    I went to the S&D gun show in New Bern, NC on Saturday, I hate to disarm for a gun show but my sons really wanted to go. There were some nice guns and accessories there and the usual group of booths. I entered a few raffles and bought both of my boys a knife. One booth had a raffle for a free...

    Roadblocks to catch a murderer, cooperate with being searched or not.

    I was watching a crime show on the ID channel and a murderer had killed three people in three towns. While on the run he stole a car from a woman he contacted because her car was for sale. At this point they showed news coverage of the manhunt and police were stopping cars and checking the...

    North Carolina Seafood Festival

    Is anybody going to this? I looked at their website, nothing was said about weapons and they don't charge admission so OC is OK as far as I can tell. Anywhoo, I'll be there Saturday and maybe Sunday, look for the redneck OC'ing a black pistol with a short wife and two monkeys running around.
