My first time ever OC'ing period. Had a few things to get done today so thought I would give it a try.
First place was Kinkos to fax something. A few people in the store, but I dont think anyone even looked at me. No interactions.
Second place was to get an oil change. 5 mins into my oil change a police officer enters the building in uniform.Igive her a smile and she does the same. My holster was onmy right while she was on my left. I don't thinkshesaw it. She was there to pickup a car.I didhave two interactions there. Onewith a guy who'd just moved from PA. His daughter was moving out here and he's buying her a pistol and wanted to know how she could get a permit.The second person was an employee. He asked if I was an officer, I politely replied that I was just a regular Joe. He asked if I had a permit, I informed him that the great state of Colorado allowslaw abiding citizens to OC without one. Turns out he was a felon, and asked me if he would be excluded from carrying.I suggested getting a more qualified opinion.
For a first experience everit was positive. Being new to northern CO it's encouraging. Generally I think people are more curious than afraid. I'll continue to OC occasionally to increase my comfort with it.
