I was standing in line behind a few guys at Walkers in Richfield when one of them turns around and looks at my PX4 in my Galco FLETCH holster and said "I thought that was a gun". I responded with "It is" and he asked what kind it was and if he could see it. I kind of half chuckled and said no. Another guy asked if I was police or military to which I said no and when he asked why I had it I told him "personal protection". The third guy said CCW like it wasn't any big deal. Then a woman asked if I was a hunter to which I replied no. She then went off about how if a black man was carrying a gun in her "hood" they would get arrested. I asked if she was from Utah and she said she was from Indiana (IIRC). I told her that I didn't know her state laws but Utah allows me to carry out in the open.
The only thing the cashier did was ask if they could get a move on so she could ring up my purchase and the rest of the people behind me. I was a little nervous from all the questions they were asking. It was like they had never seen somebody carrying a pistol that wasn't a police officer. I looked over my shoulder a few times as I walked across the parking lot but nobody was paying anymore attention to me.
All in all I'd say it was a good experience. Not my first experience with OC'ing but I would say the most interesting so far.
