I usually OC but have a shirt pulled over it as I am a portly feller and we wear large shirts. Only had two negative run ins, neither were bad. First was at a Harley demo days in Cool Springs roughly in September 2011. Gent was eye balling my 1911(it had fake Ivory Grim Reaper grips so it stood out when exposed). I saw him doing so and looked him in the eyes, so he says, "I sure hope that's a BB Gun." in his VERY northern accent, I laughed, "Yeah, it shoots fourty-five caliber bb's at about one thousand feet per second." He looked at me like I was about to muder him and asked, "you got a permit for that kind of thing??" I smiled and said, "Yes sir I do, I just pray I never have to use it." and that was the end of that.
The next incursion I had was at Opry Mills shortly after their reopen, again with that 1911. I was there with my girlfriend at the time and one of my best friends who was visiting while on leave from the USAF. We were in Oakleys and a male employee was on TOP of us the whole time, he never asked if he could help us or anything of the sort. I noticed he was there for the most part and just ignored him but keeping him in sight cause anytime anyone is like that around me I get cautious just from training. Well after leaving no more than 30 feet away from the store a mall security guard approached me and asked me to remove the weapon from the premises. I would've left for good had my friend not been in town and THAT was the ONLY reason we were there.
Every other incursion has been on good terms be it to compliment my weapon, Hell, I had a PC Sherriff, who was an acquaitance from high school, ask if he could look at my 1911, when I asked "why?" a little worried, he says, "cause that thing looks badass!" lol
