Was with my bride and son at Olive Gardens near Gwinnett Mall today. Took off my coat cause it was hot while seated in the booth. And without my coat walked a couple of times to restroom to take my little one to pee. My CZ75B SA carried in an IWB DeSantis Cozy Comfort holster. No one blinked an eye or gasped. I consider that to be a good OC experience.
Later that same day OC'd everywhere in the Centerville/Snellville Walmart, even bought a couple boxes of ammo.
However, in the meat area I was calling my son by name to bring the cart back to me cause I was about to grab one of the 10lb bags of chicken, and right after calling him I heard a woman behind me say his name and say "just keep going". What the hay?! I almost thought she was talking to her son about something else who had the same name, but there were no other little boys around when I looked. She was just being a smart-aleck, but I completely ignored her.
This got me to thinking a little. There are people who will despise you when you openly carry a firearm, not just because they hate guns, but because they are Obama lovers (not saying that particular woman was, but I was just ruminating). And it was Obama who stated that America's heartland were bitter people who clinged to God and guns. This isn't by our design, but OC'ing a firearm is like thumbing your nose at 99.9% of coolaid drinking Obama lovers out there, and they don't like it a bit. There are an awful lot of them, and most are decent enough about it, but completely ignoring the openly obvious fools is the best medicine for what ails them.
