[QUOTE="Sunshine7388, post: 2003776, member: 25782"] I haven't posted often around the forums, but I'd like to here in response to the couple of "why OC" replies. You have to remember that it's not only men that have their carry licenses. Some of us are women, and just because we are women doesn't mean we like to carry small .380's For me, especially in the warmer months carrying concealed can be somewhat of an issue especially since I carry a Sig 239 .40. It's not a huge gun, but on my body it's not all that easy to completely conceal either without a jacket or cover garment of some kind. It's not that I want to always open carry and in fact before Open Carry went into effect I had only been carrying in my car and backpack for fear of printing. I no longer have to worry about that. Personally I don't think that OC'ing is a "in your face" kind of thing, myself and my husband have OC'ed a few times, and so far everyone we have spoken to about it either hasn't noticed or could care less. Sure we got a couple "he's got a gun" whispers, but no one freaked out or has asked us to leave anywhere. For the OP, I respect the way you handled the situation, you did it really well. My husband is careful not to OC anywhere he feels people might freak out as he doesn't want to deal with that yet, can't say I blame him too much. We don't make it up that way much, but it was nice of the employee to let you check out since you were pretty much done anyway. I'd be interested to see what Whole Foods corporate says. [/QUOTE]
