Spreading my "OC" wings today.. (again)..
I live in West Toledo (sylvania/jackman area). Wherein i have oc'd in various establishments around my immediate area, I tried a few more places today. Adding to my list, with no negative effects i might add. The new harbor freight at miracle mile, family dollar on sylvania ave. close to lewis, and the antique shop called "the vault" which is where the old "tropics" bar and grille used to be. I got a couple of rather unusual stares in the family dollar, but no one said anything to me. I wasn't asked to leave any of the establishments so all in all i think it went well. To be quite honest, the family dollar i mentioned is frequented by some pretty shady characters, so even if i didn't oc, i would definitely be carrying. Well for that matter i carry wherever i go but as far as the "oc" thing, just a few so far. The asst. mgr. of the family dollar who rang up my purchase told me he actually wished he'd see more of open carry. They've been robbed countless times in the past i guess. There's a few restaurants, a pharmacy, and a couple of carryouts in the area i open carry as well. Well, just thought i'd share, i know i don't post much, i'm mostly a lurker, but i figured this and the past oc experiences were worthy of sharing.. See ya, Marsh..

I was just at that family dollar like 2 hours ago. I was concealing, sure enough panhandler on a bike in the parking lot. Grown man on a bike riding around asking for 35 cents. Really hrmm. Always shady stuff at that dollar store.

This one is like 30 seconds drive from my house. So that is where I stop. But it is concerning.

I've already stopped in a couple times. Glad to have one closer to me now (Bennett Rd area).wkdravenna wrote:Its fairly new I think it just opened last week.ArcherAce wrote:There is a harbor freight at miricle mile? When did this happen?

Nice! I was in a BP once in Stow, OCing. Elderly clerk clearly took notice of my firearm, nodded his head toward it and said "I can appreciate that". Thought that was cool myself.MyWifeSaidYes wrote:In my opinion, that one positive comment can overcome an unlimited number of unusual stares!Marsh wrote:...I got a couple of rather unusual stares in the family dollar, but no one said anything to me...

I believe my God is sovereign, but man still has been given free will/freedom of choice..therefore my faith in God does not contradict my choice to carry firearms for self defense & protection.

It took me a while of cc'ing before I tried oc'ing. But after doing it for a while, I'm amazed at how many looks I don't get. Honestly most people don't even notice it. Just acting yourself goes a log way I guess..
