At the Open Carry Munch yesterday, at the Hi Joy Bowl, nice older couple commented on the wife's carry and were interested in what caliber and what brand.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Oh darn I'm sorry for missing it, I had to work a day shift yesterday and couldn't come, although I wasn't there last month either. I'll have to start paying attention to the forum again.

I was in the Poulsbo Walmart today around 5:30 pm and saw someone open carrying. I was going to go up and say hi but the person was on the other side of the store and gone before I could catch up. Not sure if it was one of us from the forum but either way it is always good to see other people open carry

I am a big guy and I know that I print hard most of the time I carry but until tonight, it had never been brought up. While unloading my cart tonight, the young women checking me out thanked me for carrying. This caught me kinda off guard, but a pleasant conversation started and the women was very polite and expressed her desire top carry when able, etc... Good stuff, nice encounter.

welcome to the forum and congrats on your positive encounter...
now you are sure the young lady was checking out your firearm and not using it as an excuse to start a conversation to get to know you better? (j/k)
either way, this is one of the main reasons i OC...public awareness ~ i should be so lucky to have it be a young lady check me out...it is normally the olde pharts or middle aged men which chips on their shoulders...

From the scanner: Didn't hear which WalMart in Kitsap, but someone called the cops on an open carrier at 8pm tonight. Orange hoodie, handgun on belt with the hammer cocked back.

OMG!!! It must have been one of those evil high capacity 1911's
Nope, wasn't mine. I just checked and it is right where I left it - just hanging out as it were.
Besides which, mine isn't e-vil w/o cause.

Had breakfast at the Poulsbo Burger King this morning around 7:30 am. Open carried my M&P Shield outside my jacket. No problems

Had a great while open carrying. My day started out by open carrying my M&P Shield to King's Wok Buffet in Silverdale around 2pm. I had a few long looks inside the buffet but no problems. After lunch I went back home and got some things done around the house. But first stopped by Central Market in Poulsbo. It has been a while since I open carried in Central Market but again I had no problems
I took a dive out to Bull's Eye in Tacoma around 7:30-8:00pm. I stayed and shoot until closing at 9. After leaving Bull's Eye I stopped by Krispy Kreme near the Tacoma Mall. It was my first visit to Krispy Kreme and I was not sure what to expect. I had maybe a look or two from a few little kids but no problems.
Overall it was a full day of open carry in Kitsap and Price County with multiple stops and zero problems

Once in a while I get the Do you know your hammer is cocked? question.
Yep.
Is that a 1911?
Nope, a Sig.
Is that safe?
Yes, it's a Single action only 226 (actual, real, kinda high capacity)
Then it's either, what's a SAO, or why would anybody carry a SAO. I can't count the number of people that think a SAO is SAO for every shot, like a Ruger Blackhawk I guess?

Given that someone walking around completely peacefully with a gun securely in its holster is about as illegal as walking around wearing pants or while in possession of keys, a little shaming might be in order.

It's been awhile since this has happened
My wife and I were having dinner at the China Sun Buffet on Bethel road in Port Orchard last night. I was filling my plate when a lady approached and said, "May I ask you a question?"
Assuming it was about my handgun I replied, "Sure."
"Are you in law enforcement?"
"No, just a law abiding citizen," and walked back to my table.
I know I missed an opportunity to educate her on open carry. Sorry. Normally I would, but I was tired, hungry, and my wife was waiting for me to return to our table.
That's a great place to eat, by the way. Delicious food, wide variety of selections, and friendly to open carry. We had an open carry meet there several years ago.

Yup, still here. I check on this site about once each week, but I haven't posted in a long while, over 2 years since I made the post above yours.
