The people that usually say something about my sidearm are normally kids. lol. Went to play mini golf and had a kid about 11 or 12 tell me "nice piece". lol. Had a guy at Walgreens that told me "be careful out there tonight". I think he thought I was an LEO. Could have been due to the tan pants and navy blue shirt. Then had a guy at the gas station say "I wouldn't be surprised to see more people starting to carry". All very positive encounters.

Hello Beau,

I hope you're doing okay! Yea downtown Elizabeth was choked in smoke last night. It was raining ash a little bit, I kept brushing off white ash off of the black shirt I was wearing. The haze was a pretty amazing sight and I took a few pictures of it. I was talking to my fiancée last night about bugging out if we had to, she said where would we go? I told her we could go to her parents and she said they are smoked out too from the fires by Boulder. *sigh* Sure hope we all get some good rain soon. I hope to see you around sometime soon! We will have to have a little OC meet up!

Stay safe,

Keens

I'm doing pretty good. We got some ash out here also. Having a bug out plan is good. It's not so much where you would go as it is are you ready to go. I'm sure we'll bump into each other eventually.

Hello Widowman,

We have a kid in the house, so she asks that I keep my sidearm unloaded and in the safe when not in use.

I have two kids in the house which is why I always have a loaded firearm with in reach or on my person. Essentially it's always in use.

Wow, most my Dad ever had to do was reach for his belt. Now, that I've got two of my own I've definitely had to work on my "Dad voice", but dang they don't get THAT out of hand! Well, yet.
