Not sure about your area . In Ohio it's legal I open Carry everyday . Only once did a cop say anything , in a store . He thought my lcp was a tazer . I had to inform him it was a real handgun ( I do have my permit it's not required ) I said want to see my permit he said no have a good day. You will get store employees that make the most comments. The other day a store employee said is that a bb gun. I said no its real. He said its too small to be real , I said its a .380. He then said well its a pea shooter . I replyed it's not the size of the gun , I said I sure as hell wouldnt want to be shot with this gun.
