Well, for the first time I openly carried my sidearm today. My wife wanted to go on a walk around town, so I holstered up and went along. Saw a few neighbors and a few strangers out enjoying the holiday. No one said a word. No SWAT team showing up to disarm me like I always feared :D

Anyway, it's not much, but it will lead to more!

Keep the UTAH section alive!

smo,
A strange phenomenon will occur as you continue to OC: your pistol will get smaller and smaller, until you begin to wonder if it hasn't become completely invisible to the general public. The general lack of response will become so underwhelming, you will perhaps begin to miss the initial rush of anticipation you felt when you first left home with that huge, oversized howitzer strapped to your belt.
