He was OCing a 22?
I get lots of people commenting on my 1911s... I usually just nod and say thanks and move along. A few people you can tell want me to stop and talk guns with 'em, but I try to avoid it in that situation. I want to avoid the whole, "Hey can I see it?" thing. Don't want to be rude and say no. Once upon a time I let a guy see my carry weapons as we were waiting for some folks to arrive... don't get all out of sorts, we went to my truck, I personally unloaded them and inspected them before handing them over. But then, I thought to myself, "What am I gonna do if he just grabs on and runs away (this was in the middle of OKC)?" I woulda been stuck, really.
So, I resolved to avoid that situation in the future if possible... unless we're OSA buddies!
Awe c'mon...If you show me yours I'll show you mine.
like I said,,,
He was an urban cowboy,,,
Not OC'ing for any reason than to weird folk out.

Saw two OC'ers yesterday at Jerry's on 51st. Well one actually, I was the other one. 
Looked like he had a nice commander size 1911.
I had a dress shirt on, hate to look like a dweeb and walk around with shirt tail hanging out.

I finally saw another OCer yesterday in Bartlesville. It's been quite a while. I happened to be OCing for a late-evening WalMart run, and at checkout noticed a guy in the next lane with his wife who was carrying an M&P in a Galco retention holster like mine (for 1911), but appeared to be a paddle model with the paddle in his front pocket. Not the best in terms of "retention" I suppose, but then again, I didn't see anyone attempt to take it.
Was nice to see another "normal" person OCing.
<edit> Ok, well, at least HE seemed normal... questions about me fitting into that category are probably valid.

I was at Sid's diner in El Reno last week and an old guy walked in OCing a Single Action Army. It was pretty bad ass. I didn't talk to him or anything though.
I see this type of holster worn that way quite often,,,
In fact it's the way one of the characters in "Criminal Minds" wears it.
I own a paddle holster so I tried it one time,,,
Man but it's uncomfortable that way.
I always wonder if it's their choice,,,
Or simple ignorance of how it was meant to be worn.

I wore a paddle holster for competition at OCGC before when I had my beretta 92. It was good for the applicsyion but not for everday carry. Paddle holsters stick out too far IMHO.
Most of the guys I have seen "open carrying" look like they instead should be carrying a "Will work for food sign". They were scraggly or dirty looking with homemade tattoos, and basically look like they recently got out of prison. I know everyone doesn't wear dress slacks and starched white shirts but the way these guys looked sure didn't seem to promote our RIGHT to open carry-cause very well.
If you saw me OCing in my cargo shorts and Adidas shirt, with my goatee and 5-days growth of beard, shaved head, tattoos on both legs, tattoo sleeves covering arms and earrings in both ears, you might not think I properly represent your right to carry, either.
