I noticed where the barrel was peening against the slide in the breach. I wanted to send it back to the factory and have them check it so I know there is nothing wrong with it. The gun is about 1 month old. A bummer.......

1 Week without OC. I wanted to leave a quick note that even though I have been OC for a short time, I feel very uncomfortable and almost "naked" without it. I don't like being home without it. I am considering buying a backup.

I know exactly how you feel. Ever since I started OCing (ptetty much just this year), I feel like something is missing when I'm not. I can't carry at work, so the whole time there I'm feeling "exposed" and vulnerable.

It's amazing how I've switched from never carrying (or owning) a gun to "needing" to carry daily just to feel "normal."

I know the feeling Bruce. I have both my Sig's out for refinishing right now and am getting really impatient with the wait.

SUN March 30th.

Took dog for walk at the CITY of Newark reservoir park. Passed one couple that was too busy keeping an eye on my German Shepherd to notice my pea shooter. Uneventful. And yes my dog was leashed and yes I cleaned up after her. I don't like stepping in poopie either.

OC'd to Lowes in Newark. An employee asked what kind of gun I had. I told him and he asked if I had a license. I told him you don't need one in delaware to open carry. He told me he thought that it was great that I was exercising my rights and was protecting myself. He said he supports that kind of thing and respected my decision to carry. A positive and eventful experience as a whole.
