Vacation
My wife and I went camping in Wayne National Forest, near Wheelersburg OH for 5 days. OC'd on the way there, stopped at a Wendy's in Orange Oh and several other areas and rest stops geocaching. No looks or comments.
At the park I had to CC as the law indicates it as I read it:
36 CFR 2.4 (h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Chapter, a person may possess, carry, and transport concealed, loaded, and operable firearms within a national park area in accordance with the laws of the state in which the national park area, or that portion thereof, is located, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable Federal law.
So CC'd to be on the safe side.
In Wheelersburg OH, OC'd at Walmart, Kroger, Long John Silvers, McDonalds, and Subway. Plus went to about 11 places to geocache and only disarmed at the two areas that were church property (wasn't sure about OC or CC with a CPL there). No issues at all.
On the way home OC'd and stopped at several places for more geocaching, Only one comment at a rest area. Older man walked past me, saw my side arm, snorted, shook his head and said "unbelievable". I just snorted, shook my head and said "typical". Besides that no issues.
So all in all a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation made even more so with no issues about my sidearm.
