Again, bearing in mind that I live in the NYC area, where the unusual, while not commonplace, does not get the same reaction as it might in a small town in the Midwest.....

Reactions vary, from no reaction at all (from the vast majority), to

1) Stares from people we are approaching.
2) Those same people turning around after we have passed them to stare some more.
3) Giggles, outright laughter, and finger pointing
4) Comments, such as "Oh, shit...look at that"
5) Comments and questions directly to the submissive, such as "Why are you wearing a leash?" (to which she is instructed to reply "Because I am the property of my Master") or "Do you like being out in public this way?"

This is not, obviously, an activity for everyone, but only for those who enjoy public humiliation play.

Also, it is probably not advisable to do this in a place where you may be recognized by someone you know, unless you are open about your relationship and the lifestyle it entails.
