More mostly uneventful OC'ing...
9-14 - had a little fun last night OC'ing - got back from OH and my wife wanted a Wawa coffee, so we walked the dog down to Wawa in Wayne. I was chatting with some other customers about why only 1 person on a register on a Friday night - speculating that the student workers went back to college leaving them short. We then started discussing the regular clerks and who we try to avoid
as they are pretty slow.
I got into the long line behind 2 of our local 'gangsta wannabe' youths (either 15 or 16) who saw the 1911 on my hip and suddenly got real quiet. They must not have recognized me as I live around the corner from them and they go to Radnor high, same as my kids. While I continued talking to the people behind me - I could hear them whispering - "is he a cop - must be - he's strapped - should we get the ciggies - no wait til he's gone then get back in line...."
Since they never addressed me, I didn't speak to them. I'm not LEO and whether they had fake ID to get cigarettes is not my concern. I just continued a pleasant conversation with the people behind me in line till I left.
9-15 uneventful OC'in again - Keystone Motors in Devon (twice), Wawa in Paoli, Wawa in Wayne, a good 2 hour walk of the dog through South Wayne and North Wayne (got a couple of dirty looks in North Wayne - not sure if one lady was more concerned that my dog might poop on her lawn or that I had a 1911 on my hip), lunch at Theresa's in Wayne, dinner at Mino in Frazer and finally food shopping in Genaurdi's in St. Davids.
9-16 Lots of fun today - not all directly OC related....
Usual uneventful OC in Wawa in Wayne, CVS, Walking the dog around Wayne - fun was OC'in at LPRGC for the monthly military rifle shoot. Only 1 other OC'r there - but since he is LEO I don't think that counts....
The Military rifle shoots are an offshoot of the Appleseed Marksmanship program started by 'Fred' of Shotgun News. Shot my AR (shot Sharpshooter - 1 dropped 400yd shot kept me from Expert :-( Also got a chance to shoot couple of rifles I never shot before - an 7.62 x 39 SKS (really long and gritty trigger) and a CMP surplus .30 Carbine. The Carbine was nice - have to put one of these on my wish list.
time to get back on the airplane to go to work in OH.....
