...And I bump into a Unicorn.
I had just finished an all-day adventure helping move a family member who just happens to be a Prohibited Person out of their place, so I wasn't carrying, didn't have time to even stop home to clean up, arm up, etc. and had been asked to slip past the local (and only) pizza joint to get a pie and stix for the house.
As I was waiting outside for the order to be ready, a male and female walk in. I noticed the male was OC'ing. Appeared to be an XD in a nylon holster with thumb strap.
I probably would've just said nothing and gone about my business, but one thing stuck out like a signal flare: There was no mag inserted.
Concerned that he may have accidentally released the magazine while working the seatbelt in his car or worse, could have dropped it elsewhere, I handed off my order to the person I was with, headed back inside, and engaged the carrier in conversation.
I opened by thanking him for OC'ing. Seeming pleased that someone would do that, it was all smiles as he said he carried as a statement of Liberty, etc. etc. (the same basic statements we all use when approached out of the blue).
I then asked asked him if he knew there was no mag in the pistol. He said yes he knew, and that it was in the forward pouch of the holster, as he "was all about safety" and such. Being pressed for time, I couldn't engage him further on that.
I did however tell him about OCDO.
I hope he checks us out.
