[QUOTE="thefenux, post: 2248155, member: 18549"] Also, a convenience store by my work recently put up a no gun sign. I was almost out of gas, so I went in, paid for a small amount, then proceeded to talk to the owner about how I wouldn't be back. Apparently, he thought I was LE (plain clothes) because of how I dress for work and had been OCing there a lot. We had a little chat about why he put up the sign (it's a bad neighborhood). I told him the arguments about how it wouldn't actually stop the guns he was worried about, and it would just stop people like me feom shopping there. He then specifically gave me permission to carry on there, open or not. A week later, the sign came down. I've been asked if I was LE a few times, including once by a small child at the vet with my dog. For the most part, no one notices the gun on my hip, but 95% of the time, it sparks a positive conversation when people do notice. My wife told me today that people don't notice the gun when I OC because I act natural. She's seen a few people told to leave her work at Cracker Barrel, where they have an unposted no open carry policy, because the way they presented themselves was like they wanted to make sure people noticed the gun.
