Let's not put it in that perspective, please. Keep in mind.... it was MY choice to leave. Yes, it would have made a huge impact had the entire group got up and left. It had crossed my mind to ask them all if they wanted to relocate somewhere else, but I had another stop to make and would have left in a few minutes anyway. There were a lot of new people there and I am kinda glad they stayed and took the time to get to know each other and enjoy the experience. We all did make light of the whole situation (I made the first crack)... my intent to keep it lighthearted was to not discourage these new members from oc'ing again or hesitate to do so. The only reason I was singled out was, I was a late arrival and hence the two tables were full so we added a table at the end, placing me in the aisle. I was more exposed than the rest of the group sitting together (my big gun had nothing to do with it.
) The complaining ladies were seated to my left and were in direct line of sight with my gun. They didn't like it and complained. The waitress even set a chair in the line of sight so as to block the ladies view. I told her no thanks, if my gun isn't welcome than neither am I. So I chose to leave and made my point that way.
