Ummm...what? 
The fact that you did not get any dirty looks is a f---ing good thing!! If you are doing this to get noticed you are doing it for the wrong reason. We want this to be a normal non-event, and with time, as it becomes more commonplace it will be. In the meantime, we are hoping to get the few people who do not understand about self-defense to see that guns are not a threat to them.
Every non-event day is a good day. Every day you get harassed for your rights is a bad one (duh?) and by posting about it on the forums, you can teach others how to deal with harassment in the future and decrease the chances of it happening again.

I think he's joking because I've been stopped twice in the last ~4 months for open carrying by the cops. And once dispatch sent them to find me but I was no longer in the area.

WOW DUDE, YOU DON'T WANT TO ATTRACT ATTENTION! please if you want attention don't do it this way! screwing around with our rights is NOT a good idea as it hurts all of us equally not just you! and if this is a joke it's not funny.
carry, carry responsible, and be glad when it is a non-issue as that is how it should be!

Doobie got it but nobody else did...notice the big grin..
ok,maybe i should of used the  icon to show i was joking..
Honestly,i'm very glad i don't get neg attention..cause when caught off guard,i get tongue tied and would probably end up sounding like some Idiot that shouldn't be carrying..
sorry for confusion..
BTW-was just outside and saw three wild turkeys walk across the field.couldn't get camera fast enough before they were out of range.they were on the small side too..

I was stopped by the concord police in December for carrying a flashlight and OCing.... Someone thought it was a second gun... they never did tell me if it would have been okay if it was a second gun... they seemed to indicate that it would have been ok.... so I had an OC litter clean up carrying two guns...and someone else showed up as well carrying two... it was pretty cool.

After a lunch get together with some folks in Concord today.Doobie and i went for a walk up loudon road then back down to Main st.After me and him parted ways i continued on for another 30-40 mins.i walked up several blocks,crossed over and then back down Main st(all the while making sure that my strongside was towards traffic) and didn't have any issues though i did have a member of the Concord Police dept drive by me turn around then drive by again(on the slow side),but he didn't stop.
I continued my walk back to where i was parked almost expecting to see another cruiser(or same one) drive up but that didn't happen.did some shopping at Market Basket without any issues either..

There was a Porc 411 earlier today about someone being stopped in Concord after someone called the police to report a MWAG. Was that doobie?
The Porc report indicated the person refused to give his name and was released when he asked if he was "free to go".

I OCed in Concord to pick up dinner at Tea Garden and got an ice cream cone with my girl friend at the place on Fisherville Road on the way to visit friends. While at the ice cream place, a guy behind me asked "so did you go to the tea party today?" meaning the tax protests in Concord and Manchester. I told him I hadn't and he said he hadn't been able to make them either. Then he asked what I was carrying and I told him. He told me what caliber he prefered (told me the 9mm I was carrying wasn't good enough). The girl at the window asked "were you guys talking about the tax protest? My boy friend went but I had to be in class...I wanted to go." I got my ice cream told that man I hoped I'd see him around and left.
It was a very pleasant exchange and it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been OCing.

OC'd a few places around Nashua. Went to the local McDonald's. Waited for my food for almost 8 min. I was talking to another patron who noticed my 1911. He chatted about it. When the food came, we each went to our own tables. The manager approached me and gave me two free hamburger cards for the wait... he gave them JUST to me. I said he really didn't need to, but thanked him. He didn't do anything for the other guy. I left them on the counter as I left. Felt only right.
I've had no problems if people notice I have it, but have yet to have any problems like Doobie. Why is he the attention magnet? It's the AR pistol probably...

My feeling is that if you're getting that much attention, you're asking for it. The AR pistol and a few other comments I've seen Doobie make about how you can carry so you'll be noticed make me think he's trying to be noticed.

I've only carried the AR pistol once at that was for the photo. I'm stopped with just carrying my sig239.
Of course I do tend to walk around Concord for 2 hours when I get stopped. I also tend to wear clothing that will make my pistol stand out (light clothing as my pistol/holster are black). The last two times I was also carrying two spare mags openly, and my tacti-cool torch.

I seem to also remember you saying you loosened your belt so that the pistol would swing or something??
Some people will notice open carry, but that shouldn't be the goal.

Heck no do a loosen my belt. A loose belt makes drawing harder.

| It's kind of sad that so many people are so freaked out by excersizing a civil right. No one calls the cops when I put a bumper sticker on my car. No one calls the cops if I go to church (or dont go). I dont have the cops showing up when I go to vote. I think it's great that people are educating the sheeple out there, keep it up!
