I carry OWB, most of the time it's a S&W M&P40C, however the last few weeks I have been carrying a Beretta Cougar 8045, which is a BAG , I am in peoples homes and businesses on a daily basis. Here is a run down of my last 3 encounters:
1 Installing alarm for hospital dialasis center, Main man walks up to me and asks " Didn't know your job required a firearm". (That was said in a joking manner)
2 Man who inhertited old customers house calls up, wants a cell backup for his alarm. I go in, he looks at my son and asks "What are you carrying" my son answers and he says "Nice gun" he didn't even notice mine.
3 At hospital, installing access control keypad. Chief maintenance guy walks up and says "still packing?" So I said yep, wheres yours. His boss was standing there so he didn't answer. LOL.
Here is my take:
For the most part, here in Tennessee, folks don't care if you are carrying as long as you don't look and act like a banger or a utter dip wad. I have been asked to remove mine once, I was working on a new house (note still under construction), and the contractor was using quite a few non american workers. Must have scared the crap out of them because the contractor went to the owner and complained that his workers were..... Well the owner came to me and asked me to leave mine in the truck. I said no problem. placed it in the truck, went back to work and sometime during the day I must have said something wrong because most everybody left.
All I said was where is ICE? I mean it was a hot day and I didn't want my drinks to get hot.
