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.

Re: OC'd in Philly
OMG!
My head is going to explode! Is it just me or is it starting to look like all the assumptions about OC are going right out the window lately?

Re: OC'd in Philly
That's good to hear. I just got my ltcf and I'm waiting for my serpa holster. I am a little nervous about OCing since I live in Philly, but the way I dress it would be hard to carry concealed.

Re: OC'd in Philly
That's freakin' awesome! Good job. I like that saying "just taking my Second Amendment for a walk". I might have to steal that from you, hope you don't mind.
