With the temperature at about 80 yesterday in Olympia, I really didn't want to wear a jacket just to conceal my 1911. I openly carried in Home Depot, Safeway, Shuck's, and at the Costco fuel pumps. Nobody said a word, and I didn't notice any strange looks, although I'm not making any effort to assess how others react.

I think the lack of reaction is because most people just don't pay attention to those around them. If you're not tuned in to looking for a gun, you wouldn't see my OWB 1911 (at about 4:30) from any angle than my strongside rear quarter.

Sure, every one in awhile somebody will say something about OC, but it is largely a non-issue even in the predominantly anti-gun state capitol of Olympia.
