nice time

there was an ocean of orange stickers, i do mean an ocean....lots of open carry. met papa bear but he wont admit it....i was wearing a vest with no shirt under it and a cowboy hat....looked like a retarded chippendales. It cooked us like bacon and then drowned us. Gave my shirt to my wet daughter. Was asked numerous times where the orange stickers and the booth was. Didnt make the picnic because it was scalding and then flooding, the five of us...which comprised five of the eight pro gun at the Richmond MAIG, just couldnt take anymore after two days there. Its called hillsville for a reason, dont recommend pushing a double stroller loaded for two days straight. lots of good stuff for sale, what mortgage? From Richmond to hillsville...no opem carry except at the flea. In Martinsville an older patron complained to the manager of the restaurant that my gun was scaring his mother. Well, the the manager is my nephew and fellow life long gun enthusiast...so, he was set straight. Overheard one conversation about me as it pertained to my form of carry...mexican style with an inside pant strap. They were arguing whether that was open carry or not. In wawa on staples mill, three henrico leos said " you need that thing in a holster" ...as I turned around I said "it is"... they said oh, I see. No big deal. Heard the same crap from one open carrier...is that a 1911' I hate those as he had a glock. Then he said is that a .22?....I like a .25 for back up...whatever, we should all just get along.....good times
