We took the walk last night in our local wally world .Both of us were not even looked at twice by the sheep. thought to my self why am I not nervous.
I asked her was she nervous ,her reply was nope.

They did not have any nacho's ,but we did pick up some animal crackers for the dogs. The ammo section was empty not even 22cal left. they did have some 12g there. We did not notice any one else carrying. So we were off to the next stop.....

The At&T cell phone store.
We walked in the were a few customers there one was a police officer.
I was now nervous! Why I have no freaking clue why, were legal right so why did i get nervous? Time passes the officer leaves nothing was said.
We got our shopping done and got back in the truck . My mind is still going over why I got so nervous, then it hit me right in the face. I was thinking the officer would be looking for people that are carrying just cause of the job. He was so engrossed with that new LG phone that I doubt he even took the time to look us.

So lesson learned for me is I am legal there is no reason to get uptight worrying on what if I am printing.

I know that this was a boring WW walk ,just thought I would share

Congrats, Magna! I remember my first carry. It seems ages ago, even though it was only a month. Carry every day for a month and you'll nearly forget you're doing it. It becomes like putting on your pants in the morning.

Nothing to worry about. You are legal so forget that and start paying attention to what is going on around you.

Situational awareness is key to staying ahead of the response curve.

in time you will learn and accept that nobody cares.
They're not looking at all.
If somebody does spot you they automatically figure you're a LEO.

Magna,

I've only been carrying outside the house since November so in gun years that's like 32 years ago.

It's only been since last week that I've been carrying OWB with my new Little Bear holster. I have to say that I feel like I'm carrying an extra child on my right hip because it feels like I'm just screaming 'baggage'!

I ran into someone I knew and since I'm a hugger I automatically reached out for the greeting hug. Immediately I realized that my right hand was up and not hovering over the huge lug attached to my hip. This man did the hug thing and his arm barely brushed the top of my holster. I'm not sure if I blushed or not but he didn't say anything so I carried on with the conversation. Whew. That is the closest I've been to being exposed by someone.

Even in my infancy of carrying I'm finding that people really don't care. I'm at the dance studio twice a week and no one suspects a thing.

Maybe one day soon we'll look back on these baby steps and realize we really are acclimating into the concealed world.

Very sage advice. We all should be looking out for the bad guys and trying to run through or minds the best way to handle various scenarios. Think defense!
