OC'd in Philly
I've decided to test the OC waters here in Philly. Bought a Blackhawk Serpa holster the other day and decided to try it out today.
Wawa Frankford Ave - No looks from anyone, seems they didn't even notice.
Walgreen's Frankford Ave - Again no looks from any employees or shoppers. As I was leaving an on duty PPD officer was entering, he looked at me then at my G21 and said "Nice Glock" which I replied "yours too" he told me to have a good day and went on our merry ways.
Eye Doctor - Entered the office and immediately felt the stares. The receptionist looked at me and then my G21 and asked if I was a cop. I told her no, I was just taking my 2nd amendment for a walk, which she laughed at. She said she didn't know it was legal to carry out in the open like that in Philly so I schooled her on the carry laws. The doctor made a comment that it was nice to see upstanding citizens taking advantage of their Constitutional rights and would feel safer if more people would do the same.
I must say it went better than I expected, not that I'll be OCing on a daily basis but it's nice to know I don't have to feel like an outlaw doing it.
