I've posted before, but my first carry experience was in NY after a day of sighting in my new hunting handgun, a .45 Colt Blackhawk 5.5" barrel. A couple buddies and I were shooting, getting ready for deer season and after we finished wanted to get a bite to eat. Instead of getting take out, we stop at a local sit down diner that is PACKED.

Shoulder holster (vertical), a camp shirt and no one ever said a thing.

So, NY, big gun, 23 years old, crowded place and first time carrying in public. My friends didn't even realize that I still had it on me. I haven't worried about it in the last 10 years...
