I have been lurking on OCDO for a few weeks now and decided to OC for the first time today. First I took my two kids to our city park in town (right across from the police station I might add) and let them run around for about and hour. A large group was having a company reunion and I talked to a guy fishing with his kids and had no issues. Next we went inside our local Starbucks for roughly a half hour. Again no issues. Lastly we stopped at Safeway to get a few items before heading home and no one even looked twice. Not that I saw anyway. I must say I was a bit surprised at the normalcy of everything. I think a majority of the people didn't even notice that I was carrying a pistol. I did talk to a local gun shop owner who knows our local police well and asked him how they felt about people OC and he said they were OK with it. We live in a town where a lot of people hunt and fish and people are a custom to seeing firearms. I must say I was a bit nervous at first but after 15 minutes or so I actually forgot I was even carrying. Hopefully my future experiences go as well as my first.
