I would normally say as such, but it was not the case. I didn't imagine everyone staring at me, almost all of them would look down at my pistol, then look at me. I got about 10 that asked me "Hey what kind of glock is that (hahaha)." I was walking normally, and didn't do anything to draw attention to myself.RottenApple wrote:I'd say you were probably self-conscious about it and most likely imagined that EVERYBODY was staring at you. Or, being self-conscious, you may have subconsciously acted in such a way to draw people's attention.JR's 12 Valve wrote:When I'm out on the ranch it's my preferred method of carry, but I do not like the idea of openly carrying in town.
I gave it a go in Oklahoma, and I did not like it whatsoever. Just imagine walking down the street and having EVERYBODY look at you. I personally don't like being stared at wherever I walk.
After about 20 minutes I went and got my coat out of the truck.
I don't care for it in town, but I think folks should go ahead and do it if they get a wild hair.
I've OC'd in both OK and MO. The only person who noticed was the police officer (in uniform) who was behind me at the register in a store and his only comment was, "Hey, is that a Kimber?" It led to a very interesting conversation and, once we were both checked out, we went to my vehicle where I disarmed, unloaded (to be safe), and he got to check it out. No muss, no fuss, no funny looks from anyone. Just one really cool cop who had been thinking about getting a Kimber and loved handling mine.
It could be because I was in a well populated area, and OC was new at the time, but still, I did not like it.
