Open carried in Las Vegas no issues. Was in Frys a Hispanic guy guessing around 35 years old asked me what it takes to get a permit to carry. I said do not need a permit to carry open gave him info for CCing. He had his wife and 5 kids with him. Nice guy however I could see he was doubting what I was saying. I get this look on his face like ya right no permit needed. I am wondering, does he really think I am lying standing in a big electronic store OCing with my wife? I asked him where he was from. He said he just moved here from California.

I told him thought so. Talked to a lot of people from many different states due to the gun laws, brain washing, anti gun LEOs, Hollywood, and anti gun media Californians are the most difficult to convince that many states do allow a legal gun owner to open carry without a permit. With the help of my wife started to accept what I was saying however still doubting. He said he wanted to be able to protect his family however made a stupid mistake when young his conversation went all over the place. Said he was getting it fixed then said he could not afford the lawyers. I was not sure what he was trying to tell me on that subject. He did say his wife was going to get trained for a firearm I said training is a good idea. I am always amazed how brainwashed many are by the Commufornian government, media and Hollywood.

Spotted an OC'er on Friday, 12/6 a little after 4pm at the Smith's in Sparks. I was one person back from him in the checkout line. Was obvious to me that the checker saw it, as he kept glancing at the guy's piece, but the interaction was perfectly friendly. It appeared the checker recognized the guy as a regular, using something like "good to see you again" as he left. OC'er then walked over to the Red Box near the in-store bank, again no issues noticed.

I'm not usually OC'ing in an IWB, but this morning's activities normally have me carrying concealed. But I hadn't yet needed the outdoor vest (and concealing garment) while dropping off the dog at the vet. It may not have been noticed at first, but the doctor and assistant could definitely see it while I was putting the dog in their crate near the operating room. The doc never mentioned it, and spent several minutes with me afterward to explain the injury and the procedure, and was very amiable the entire time. The doctor is also the owner of Animal Kindness on East Bonanza.

I OC at a Smiths in the NW valley pretty regularly. I've had a few second looks but I think most people don't notice anyways. The checkers there have never said anything nor do they seem to care.

OC'd in the same IWB when I picked up the dog yesterday evening. This time, they could have been prepared if they had decided they wanted to say something about it. They didn't. Doc even followed me out the door to make sure all my questions were answered.

Wife and I open carried (wearing NRA & Molan Labe shirts) to the Pro 2A demonstration against the Anti 2A meeting of Moms Demand Action at Unity Baptist in the east part of the Valley. It was that rally I mentioned earlier that got moved from the rec center to a church.

Anyhow, there were only about 12 of us pro 2A folks in all and only about 8 at any given time. And only one other person that open carried. It was very uneventful. The Antis were meeting inside. We were not allowed in and were asked to stay off the property. So we were on the sidewalk as the Antis drove & walked in. ABSOLUTELY nothing was said of our oc. However, the News 3 camera did focus on my holstered pistol during an interview with a Nevada Shooters guy. So that may have made it on the 11 o'clock news last night. Channels 5 and 8 were also there.

Saturday Open carried at Fry’s Electronics, Town Center Lounge for lunch 2992 West Cheyenne North Las Vegas. Late Dinner at Applebee’s Maryland Parkway and DI. No issues. Just for info I am carrying a full size firearm and it does get noticed.
Took my wife to the Smith Center to see the Nutcracker play. First time at the Smith Center for us. Wow, some place. A special day for my wife and did not want a possible no guns allowed issue and decided to risk safety for a few hours went in unarmed. The facility is own by the City of Las Vegas. I saw no posting however only took glancing search on the way in. I did not like being unarmed however we had a great time. If I am correct of no posting next time I will go in CCing.

The Smith is private. The city donated the land only. I am on my phone so it's hard to post the link but I just checked it on the Smith web site.

I will do some more research also. I saw some information that said Smith Center was owned and built by the city. After a better check on signage if none really not much of an issue. However knowing for sure would be some good information.

IWB again (working a lot lately), but it was certainly seen (with no comment whatsoever) at Winlectric Supply in Henderson. I love this little electrical supply warehouse. I have to ask for most things at the counter, and don't know the prices until I check out, but it's a great little shop with very fair prices. I'll go here for parts whenever I am in the area.

OC'd at the 99 cent store, walmart and In and Out burger. Nothing more than a few double takes and one couple moved to a table farther away from me at in and out burger once they realized I had my sidearm.

Saw a gentleman OCing at New Frontier around 4pm yesterday. He was wearing a "I support the right to arm bears". Anyone on here?
