OC'd in Rio Rancho's verizon contract store and staff was completely confortable but another customer came in and phreaked as she walked widely around me to the otherside of the counter w/nothing in her hands...the customer needed to use the fone next to me to validate her account information so again a wide berth around me to the fone. when finished she then was around at the otherside of the counter playing w/a full sized mace spray device in her hands :eek:.

where it came from is beyond my knowledge but when she left even the staff commented on it...

PS: lovely to see the dogwoods changing along the rio grande...quite beautiful

...I guess you didn't look like you could have been a LEO for her to assume the worst?

Not that we NEED to look like LEOs, of course (I dress however I want), I'm just saying that MOST people probably (and immediately) assume an OCer is a LEO, either on or off duty. Wonder why she didn't.

Whatever, someone should have told her that in the REAL world, Mace doesn't work too well against bullets. ;-)

I think a major problem in America today is that so many people have been brainwashed into thinking guns are evil. These people need to be educated.
