Hi first off my name is Justin. I live in LA, where I don't usually see many other UOC people.
I recently acquired my first pistol, which is a Sig P229 .40 S&W. Spend many rounds in firearm training and this gun has not failed to impress me once. I came across this forum last week, and am greatly interested in this whole idea of exercising our 2nd amendment right and self defense. (Heck, I have been mugged twice in the same parking lot near work). I spent some time reading up the laws and posts here, and finally got around to go out to office depot UOC today with another friend.
When I was paying for the voice recorder I purchased, the cash register noticed my firearm and asked "is that thing real?" "are you working in security?" I answered honestly and handed her a pamphlet I downloaded from here, and explained to her the laws concerning firearm carrying.
I must say I felt awkward about this, so did my friend who was UOCing also. Perhaps it will take time, I don't know.
So, any other users here are in the LA area? Are there any UOC meet up events held in this area? If so where can I find such information. Maybe going out with other experienced UOC'ers will help easing the uneasy feeling.
