This morning I followed my usual procedure of loading up my truck with general stuff; Laptop, tools, shotgun and 10 rounds...but then took a side trip to Jiffy Lube for a very overdue oil change. I transport the shotgun in the back window between the head rests and the glass, with 5 rounds rubber-banded together on the dashboard. As I pulled into their lot, a guy directed me is and had me do the usual pop the hood and answer a few quick questions. As I slid out of the truck, I grabbed my camera and the 5 rounds in one hand, the reached back and took out the shotgun. I followed the service guy into the customer service area where several other people awaited their lube jobs. It got me looked at pretty good. I sat down and kept the shotgun between my legs and fiddled with my camera until the service manager called me up to go over the service program. I grabbed the gun and leaned it against the counter as he methodically went through each line on the computer. When it was done, i returned to my seat again, placing the shotgun against the back wall by the chair. at this point, one service woman said it scared her at first glance as she went through another customers paperwork. A woman next to me said she understood why i wouldn't want to leave it in the truck while they worked on it. When the work was done, I went up and paid the bill, again leaving the shotgun leaned against the counter. I then followed the guy who performed the work out to the truck taking the gun with me, and then he went through all that they had done bit by bit. they then drove the truck out, and I walked out gun in hand, and at that time there was some comments by two of the service persons, but I couldn't through all the noise of that diesel engine. They were smiling though, so I believe it was all positive. I then stuck the gun in its' place in the back window, and mosy'ed off.
