I OC'd for the first time today. Had the day off and was at home without the wife and kids. I thought it would be a good time to go out and begin getting comfortable with it. Figured I'd start off with running some errands.
Went to Wawa in South Smyrna. Ran inside and picked up a shorti and drink for lunch. I thought the neon sign over my head was invisible to others until I was headed out the door. A teenager was coming in the door. I could tell when he noticed cause he sort of paused, with eyes locked on my glock. Then he opened the door as if to hold it for me, eyes still on my gun. I stood back and waved him thru. I gassed the truck and a couple of gas cans for my mower. I think the woman at the pump opposite of mine noticed, but she didn't panic.
I stopped at Smyrna Hardware to pick up a couple items I need for a project. The guy behind the cash register I'm sure noticed but didn't seem to care. Nothing was said.
I will continue to carry when I'm by myself to get comfortable, then will introduce the wife to OC. I do have a couple questions about my experience today, but that is another post I don't have time for right now.
