I open carried a lot this weekend. It was only my second time in ever having done it and just like the first, I had a good experience. I got stared down and dirty looks while I was making a purchase at JC Penny from some lady I suspect as being from the Million Mom March, but I ignored that.
Went to:
Best Buy
The Mall
JC Penny
Penn Station: East Coast Subs
Circuit City
Blockbuster
Whole Foods Grocery Store (rich yuppie organic place)
Overall I had no real problems with people staring or anyone noticeably become uncomfortable. Two cops even passed me and never said a word. The manager of Penn Station was an idiot, however. He was about 19 and rank of pot. He saw it and was like "Oh man, are you a cop or you just like packin' the heat." I told him what the deal was and about my rights. His response was, "I just moved here from the Bronx and I didn't think you would need a gun in KY. We don't even need them in NY anymore unless you sell drugs."
