Yep, beat me to it.
Saddle Up is a no go place.
Thankfully the bar we frequent does not have such a policy.However, both are places that are very likely to ask you to leave their private property, when they witness you OC'ing.
I would have had more fun OCing in that scenario. Especially to see if she would even notice the gun on my hip.I carry concealed because it causes less drama. What people don't see won't freak them out.
It was fun sitting next to my very liberal SIL as she is going on about how "nobody needs a gun" and "she would never feel safe being around guns"...
