So, on this afternoon's Home Despot outing (they don't carry the sort of 10-foot poles I was looking for - likely those don't exist - so I had to settle for 10-foot pressure-treated 2x4s), there was this guy.
Older guy. Open-carrying some fairly stylish pistol on the right hip (I didn't recognize the model, but it looked like something he might have had for a long time).
And, leaning heavily on a cane. In his right hand.
Somehow, I don't think that sidearm, in that position, would be very useful in an emergency.
(OCing in random places isn't terribly common here, but it's not unusual enough to draw comment. And, as with wearing masks, people don't make a fuss one way or the other.)
