I've OC in the Pizzeria UNOs in that same shopping center in the video and it was a non event. Honestly, I think most people are completely oblivious to the fact that I have a weapon on my hip. I've actually met some of the nicest people after striking up a conversation concerning my weapon. They normally think I'm with security or something, but I let them know I'm an everyday citizen excersicing my rights. I still mostly CC but I feel comfortable OC more and more as I do it and contrary to popular belief I have not had any LEO altercation to date.

Are you a member of OpenCarry.org ? If not I suggest checking it out...there are SEVERAL members from up that way...

Here in Ohio people simply are not used to it. I dont doubt youd have issues open carrying in the larger cities in Ohio.

Personally, I'm happy concealing my firearm.

While I'm not a Virginian or an American by birth, I like to think I'm both in Spirit.

You can find me at OCDO by the same name
