Great Point!

Thanks, Richbirdhunter.

Let me tell you, it was a great feeling to be able to open carry! It was similar to the first time I carried concealed. I was very cognizant of my firearm and of everyone else around me. I think I even 'walked' different.

I was careful to check the signage on the doors of The Stripes gas station in San Angelo that I went to yesterday, and on the doors of Pioneer Restaurant in Arlington, this morning. For the former, I wore my M&P shield and for the latter, I wore my STI 1911. I got to say that I was nervous about open carrying. It is great to have the FREEDOM to choose how I carry my firearm!
