I was at a Lowe's in NC a few days ago and saw this weathered looking gal in the parking lot, with a pistol on her hip. I noticed her earlier in the store because she was only about the 3rd person, including me, that wasn't wearing a mask.
I commented on her open carry situation and she admitted that until recently, she hadn't. She also said she doesn't have a CHP, but will be getting one soon. She said she ain't wearing no mask, but she'll be wearing her gun. She hadn't been long come from Walmart, where she also wore the gun, but not a mask, but I digress.
For you that choose to open carry, or have open carried in the past, have you ever been "stopped and frisked" because you had a gun on your hip. That's being a bit dramatic, but I'm curious if anyone had been approached and asked for ID or some other information just because you are open carrying? And I'm referring to actual LE, not security guards or other Paul Blart types. @BBD280
Now to the meat of this query...
What's to stop me from OC'ing in Lowe's, etc., as a SC resident? The fear of being outed? It makes me curious what the offense would be. No, I'm not interested. I like and prefer concealed, but I often wonder if I could simply meander through the throw rugs, G19 in tow, and go about life like it ain't a thing.
