Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

well i oc'd for the first time today, i was out and about in chesapeake in the greenbrier area, went to 7-11, walmart, gamestop, and a few other places, and not even a single person gave me so much as a weird look the whole time. like others have said, it is very liberating but at the same time it is a huge responsibility, the whole day i was constantly aware of my surroundings like never before. its a very surreal feeling doing it for the first time. ive also read that people say "now hes just gonna go look for a reason to pull it on someone", quite the contrary, as cool as it was, the whole day i didnt even want to take it out. anyways, overall very good first oc day.

Congrats on your first OC. Sounds like it was a good one

congrats, Ben! I think you explained it all perfectly... awareness of your surroundings at all times (Situational Awareness or SA) is very important when OC'ing.

Way to go!

Congrats on the first OC. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. It will soon become second nature and you will feel strange when you are not OCing.

Carry on...
