OCed-ish (exposed IWB) through Best Buy for a few minutes to pick up an Xbox controller. Dunno if anyone noticed, but certainly no one seemed to care.
Got around a bit today and OC'd at:
In St. Charles...
Tony's for lunch..
Franks market to buy some stuff...
Secretary of State's office to renew license plates...
And then in Frankemuth..
Riverside place, a sorta mall with stuff for tourists...
Aside from having men my own age and older call me Sir.. as in "Excuse me Sir" when they walked in front of me... nothing of note occurred.
Methuselah was in Frankenmuth?
Ha! I resemble that old fart!Methuselah was in Frankenmuth?
In my youth ... if we wanted a happy meal we had to go kill our own dinosaur. Oh wait.... I remember some kid that looked a lot like you that always wanted the drumstick.Hey, this guy is so wired on caffeine he moves faster than most 20yr. Olds! I know I can't keep up with him. Alas, though when I was a kid the happy meals had a choice flint axe or charred end wooden spears.
So moving faster than me is a pretty low bar.
On topic Doubled OC'd last night to fill up the wifes car that was on vapors! Clerk did a double take smiled and asked if I needed a bag for my bottles of SODA (no such thing as POP here???) & I said yes, as I never like to have both hands full. He said "I can see why" & chuckled. All good, no issues and the wannabe hip-hop rappers that were out front (all rich white kids of course) were no where to be found when I left???
OCed today at Walmart, Home Depot, and Red Robin all in Dearborn. Most everyone around me acted as if it was the most normal thing in the world; our movement has come a long way gentleman. As I was walking into Walmart a middle aged black woman remarked "Wow they got you loaded down!? If one doesn't work the other one will huh" I said "Who is they? No ma'am, these are my personal weapons." Oh I didn't know. You're teaching me something." Then once inside another middle-aged black woman laughingly remarked "You got dem many weapons on you, I ain't mad at you?" I replied, "Ma'am You should watch the news more often and you'll see what I mean." She replied "I got da crime scene on speed dial on my phone and it's ridiculous" She then went on to complain about the number of shootings and break-ins on her block and suggested that what Detroit needed was occupation by the National Guard. I respectfully disagreed and we amicably went our separate ways but not before she quipped that she needed me to walk her to her vehicle so she wouldn't get robbed.
I didn't bother trying to educate her on open carry or even suggest getting a CPL. It became clear to me she had no interest in firearms or self-defense, what she really wanted was for someone else to do the heavy lifting for her.
I won't be carrying in any manner, OC or CC, for the next few days. I won't even be driving anywhere.... I caught a whopper of a cold and the Doc gave me some very strong meds... but it really doesn't matter much since I feel like 2 pounds of crap stuffed into a 1 pound bag and am not planning on going anywhere anyway.
But I'm not worried... Yooperlady will be carrying and I am confident she can protect both of our butts if needed.
Hope you get better soon...I've caught a cold too. Mostly head for me and I can still function but I get tired very quickly!
let us know the city you're open carrying in, tackett. are you visiting michigan?
Not to be a jerk or anything, but this thread is in the MI sub-forum. Most posts are expected to be related to OC in MI. Maybe you could post about your experiences in your state sub-forum? This avoids confusion with regards to legality of carry in the many different (from state to state) gun/pistol free zones.
