A story:
When I first got to Oregon, I couldn't CCW due to they had a 6 month residency deal and such (and found it was against the law to boot). So I opened carried for the first couple of months.
I went to Winco (A local shopping center here in town, mainly food) and was walking though buying when a women yelled out "HE'S GOT A GUN!!!!!!!!!".
I was looking around..... gun, who, what, what is this, when I noticed that she was pointing at me.
Needless to say, I was given a talken to by the LEO's that responded (wasn't doing anything against the law, just that things like what happened could happen
). I was told that guns in the store should be concealled (by the manager) and that I was within the law but... some times you shouldn't do some things.
The only thing that I can think of is this, I could probably wear a chainsaw on my hip while going throught the store and I doubt that anyone would yell out "HE'S GOT A CHAINSAW!!!!" or any other tool that could be seen. Yet when you have a gun on your hip/leg, everyone (some, not everyone) seems to make it a point to shout out in a crowded place
.
