The color draining from someone's face doesn't necessarily mean they're scared. It sounds like you had him backed into a corner.

I came out of the stall and walked towards the sinks. he chose to move to my left -- closer to his buddy --further from the doorway. Smart so he wouldn't be in the way when I had to leave. The stalls were behind him, but you are right he would have been forced to go past me to get out.

I don't think it was being cornered as much as shock, Fear of guns and confusion.

Whatever it was, it was very obvious and as I said before, I am just reporting my observations of the environment around me when I OC'ed.

Bottom line is out of the 5-600 people that were within 20 feet of me, only one had a distinct (bad) reaction and 6-8 had a distinct (positive) reaction. Most didn't even notice.

Poor guy. Sounds like what he needs is a fun class and day at the range to get over his fear of guns...and those who LEGALLY AND LAWFULLY CARRY THEM.

Or something.

I have a pet theory that if everyone who reacted so terrified at the sight or mere word "gun" like that would just be taken to the range, and educated in a safe way, and have their teachers make it fun, we'd have a lot less sheep around. And a lot more enthusiasts!

Okay, thanks, I was under the impression the CC and OC permit were two differant ones.
