Hi, my name is tom, I have had my permit to carry now for a month now and in minnesota we have the option to open carry or conceal and carry. I have never had any bad situations come about while oc. Most ppl dont really even notice that you are carrying, because alot of ppl keep there eyes above the waist. I oc everywhere i go and seems that most ppl look and keep on what they are doing, or they stare until out of site. But just last night i went to super america were the cashier asked me what i was carrying and i said a 9mm glock 17. He said that pretty cool and kept on about his buisness. I dont think im a hotshot cause i carry a gun, i just know that im standing up for my right to oc and like stated many times on here before a right unexcersized is a right lost. So please if you carry a gun oc at least once and see how your reactions differ from all other reactions you read about. Im not sayin oc i right for everybody but maybe for that one person that has never done it, finds he likes that better.
