    So many don't notice OC

    imported post I went to a church potluck tonight and for some reason people that I have OCd around at least a dozen times before noticed for the first time. Must have been the shirt I was wearing cut a little tighter to my body than usual making my gun appear to stick out a little further. I...

    OC a hot topic on ifish

    imported post I have posted about OCing at my church before. Recently a fellow gun enthuthist at church has started CCing again. He told me that I inspired him to.

    Positive Experience

    imported post Had a mini date with my wife tonight and went to Boppin' Bo's for some ice cream. We were in a booth and I had my strong side out.

    Funny comment

    imported post Yesterday I picked up a couple boxes of shotgun shells at Bi Mart in Washougal and as I was checking out the cashier asked me "Are you old enough to be playing with these?". The gentleman in line behind me said "Let's hope so. He's wearing one." while motioning to the Ruger P-91...

    Poll: How long have you been open carrying?

    imported post It seems there are a lot of first time open carry experiences being shared lately. Am I being optomistic in thinking that there is a surge of people starting to open carry?

    How does your family feel about you OCing?

    imported post I just started OCing this week and was surprized that my wife had nothing to say when I strapped my pistol to my hip instead of tucking it IWB under my shirt. We've been all over town to various establishments and she has never raised any concerns. She isn't a shooting enthusist...
