    Well, to be fair, if you walk into a public restroom and see a Californian wearing a Ducati jacket blowing a transient you would immediately recognize it for what it is.

    I have been looking for one but can't find it. Mods, if there is one, please feel free to merge.

    Looking for a thread where members can brag about compliments they got on their OC toys. (Let's assume nobody gets compliments on their CC toys such as "hey ssssailor, is that a li'l .380 in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?")

    Occasionally I get a compliment on my shiny 1911 on my belt. (it is hot in Texas so I don't always wear a concealment garment)
    I mentioned it among some good friends over beer and one of them came back with "I call BS, it can't be true, I don't get any compliments when I OC my Glock". After a second of silence, we all busted out laughing, including him. (he has a good sense of humor ... but he still owns a Glock, we have no idea how to fix him :) )

    My latest brag is double.
    1) A few weeks ago, our car broke down and we needed assistance. PD showed up, provided assistance and as they were leaving, one of the young kids (officers) mentioned "gorgeous shiny 1911 you got there". Does a brag count as triple if the compliment came from a LEO? :) Maybe we can make this a scoring competition? :)
    2) Another brag was from today. I had to run two errands and since it was not butt-scorching-hot, I took the bike (motorbike). Stopped at a red light, a guy in a nice gun-metal grey Charger pulls up alongside me. He hollered "nice!". I nodded. He asked "is that a .45?" He caught me by surprise and I could not muster any better response but "What else?" He agreed with me. And before I could mention that chambering a 1911 in 9mm or 10mm is considered the 12th sin, the light turned green and we sped off and went our separate ways.

    What's your bragging story about getting a compliment on your OC piece?
    I carried a Ruger Blackhawk357 on a Ruger Super blackhawk brass dragoon frame with scrimshawed ivory (polymer) grips for years in SW Colorado almost 100% on compliments whether gas station or restaurant, I added th scope for hogs when I moved back to Texas

    I hope the hobo got tested right after. Wouldn't want our homeless folk getting something they can't wash off or kill with PCN. :roflfunny:
