I'm fairly new to this forum, and really to the open carry concept. I do hold a CCW permit, but with all thats going on in the states with gun violence I feel its now a nessisty to show that I am armed, and I am one of the good guys. After all thugs and "gangsters" dont open carry. I OC at Khols the other day with my wife an kids and not only was it a mad house but it seemed that everyone was off worried about getting those last minute holiday gifts nobody noticed me. Then I when to Jimmy Johns off of Garden of the Gods. I go in and I'm sure that one guy behind the counter **** his pants. The other at the register didnt seem to notice. Then came the person coming in behind me. I noticed he had to do a double take as he so "casually" glanced around my right side to see my XDm .45 nicely holstered, then he put about another 5 feet between us. Its fine I just smiled and said "Merry Christmas" and left. So I'm curious is anyone else in the Colorado Springs area has been OCing while doing holiday errands and how have they been perceaved. I feel like we need to get out there and inform the public that "hey, you can oc pretty much anywhere you want here and you should". After all the Sherrifs Dept CCWP dept is backlogged till Febuary.
