Please note the bold text in the quote from my previous post. I am well aware he was there hoping to rattle my cage with his fancy County title. I'm sure he was the first person the principal called the first time I had to talk to her, too. I'm plenty savvy enough to know when the reindeer games have started. I could also tell by his body language and tone of voice that he really does believe all the BS rhetoric he was trying to shoot my way about gun free schools being safer, so, yeah, I believe he was there, in part, as a concerned parent and member of the community. He has also been a member of the community for DECADES vs my family moving here in March. I guess I should have just told him to get lost and been on my way. Then I could be known as the jerk with the gun that wouldn't even talk to Mike, and was quite rude, to boot(whether or not I would have actually been rude is irrelevant, small towns like to talk). Instead, I humored the man and heard him out, and I hope I have started projecting to the community that I am a reasonable, approachable, and articulate person. As much as I hate to admit it, I am now part of the Public Relations machine for Open Carry. That doesn't mean I trust him, or anyone else that works for the school, town, or county.
I hope they prove you wrong, too. So far I haven't had any more problems, even though the Lego Team has added another weekly meeting to the schedule. I talked with another parent at the school the other day and word around town is most people were only interested until they realized it was legal, and now the talk has died down.
