I agree. I too was suprised that his question implied he didn't know it was not a lawful carry location. I think he may of asked me where my weapon had gone as a way to start the conversation, not a reflection on the location. We got in a lengthy discussion with another school board member on where on school property you could lawfully carry. He clearly knew the law there.03Lightningrocks wrote:I was not sure what to make of that. It seems if the school board member was familiar with concealed carry, their would be no question being asked about why he put his firearm away while sitting in a bar with a red 51% sign.jmra wrote:Welcome to the forum.estes9294 wrote:I was at a political action committee dinner party at a local restaurant awaiting election results last month. I was carrying my Beretta Nano IWB at 3:30 with a tucked in polo shirt loosely bloused over the belt line. The election results were delayed due to court house buffoonery and the restaurant was set to close. So we moved the party to a nearby hotel bar. I left my weapon in the car due to the “red 51%” sign. A school board member approached me after I had been there a few minutes and asked me where my weapon had gone. He told me he saw the IWB clips at the restaurant and wanted to find out how I got it comfortable. He had been trying to wear one but could not get it comfortable. As a general rule, people are not nearly as observant as you fear they will be when you start CC. Relax, be safe and be comfortable with your weapon. Isn’t that the reason most of us carry.
I think most people observant enough to notice and informed enough to know what they are looking at are going to be like minded. As long as someone isn't carrying somewhere they shouldn't, exposed clips is no big deal at all.
Thanks for the welcome to the forum. I have been lurking for a while and have found the info here invaluable.
