Open carry non-incidents

Joe45 · June 13th, 2009, 07:47 PM

In light of recent threads where folks mentioned non-incidents, I figured maybe a thread listing some places you've open-carried without trouble?

Rather than the details, just a list of a few notable places, like so:

Uncounted numbers of restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations.

Outside the first of the Presidential debates in Manchester, NH.
In tavern where the Ron Paul rally was held, after the debate (confusing the CNN reporter, who noted to his consternation that there were more armed civilians than security guards)

Many times, camping.

The list could go on, but that's probably the case for many of us. I guess the idea is to list a few places that you feel are worth note, even without the whole story.

Dairy Queen
Orange Julius
CVS
Hair Cuttery
Pho Nam (Vietnamese Restaurant)

Local dining holes, Lowe's, Home Depot, Gas Stations, Food Lion, and a few more. Never an incident. Never a question.

Add Petco and Petsmart to that list!

Oh, I should add the Men's Warehouse in Nashua, a few years back. Was concealed, going in, but I was buying my suit for my wedding, so I had to try things on. No problem. (given that Nashua is on the Mass border, sometimes folks are less than gun-friendly, but it went smoothly)
