I decided to open carry today. I had already OC'ed in the Kroger in Arlington and no one even batted an eye at me.

Today, I was again at the Kroger, I went to the Subway at the Exxon next to the I-40 on/off ramp. I went to the Dollar store. All this was with the Wife and kids in tow. And, yet again, no one even blinked at me. I swear, I don't think anyone even noticed that I had a gun on my right hip.

Some of the places I went today while open carrying:
1. Kroger
2. Exxon gas station / Subway sandwich shop
3. Baskin Robins Ice Cream shop.
4. Movie Gallery
5. Lowe's

With it being hot as all blazes, I am really starting to love open carry.

Glad I moved to Tennessee. Now if we can just get the stupid restaurant carry law fixed, this could be just about perfect.

Amen to relief from the heat!... I hate sweating on my gun.

I was in a gas-station a few weeks ago, OCing, and the guybehind me in line asked me: "zat a nine?", when I turned around to go...

I calmly replied: "Is what?"...

then he specified: "Yo' gat"...

"Oh... no, this is a 45"...

"You a cop?"...

"No, just a regular guy who makes the extra effort.You can't be too careful these days"

And I walked out... I got the impression the clerk was sorry to see me leave, But the other fellow certainly didn't know what to make of me...
