When I first started carrying, I was like most and very conscious of my weapon. As time has passed, I've become so comfortable I don't even realize have I my gun on. I dress in all different manner. Sometimes use a cover garment such as a sport coat, someone I go with an untucked shirt and sometimes I tuck my shirt in my Crossbreed Supertuck.

Well, this happened a few weeks ago and I found it interesting. I was wearing a sportcoat and when I got into my vehicle to drive to town to run sime errands and go to a meeting, I took my sportcoat offand hung it in the back. When I got to town, I got out at several of my stops and went in to take care of my business and went to Walmart and pumped gas. I then got back into my vehicle and as I was driving to San Antonio, I realized I did all that without pouting my sportcoat on.

While it did concern me at first when I realized what I had done, I was also interested to note that not one person said anything or even looked at me funny that I noticed. My conclusion is that most people don't notice and the ones that do, few are alarmed. This event is one reason I don't see open carry as a big negative issue and I think the more people see the good guys carrying, the les sensitive the general population will become to people legally and responsibly carrying weapons. I am also a firm believer in campus carry at all levels.
