I was at the gas station earlier today, and had an amusing encounter with a lady with California Plates on her car.
Lady: Is that thing real?
Me: Of course it is.
Lady: Are you a cop?
Me: No.
Lady: Then why are you carrying that thing?
Me: Well, I have three reasons. First, I am not strong enough to carry a Cop around on my shoulders all day long to protect me. Second, it is my Constitutional right to do so. And, last, I do so to educate others on our rights.
Lady: Well, I don't think you should be able to carry guns if you're not a cop.
Me: I am glad you're opinion is in the minority then. Tell me then, if we didn't have a right to bear arms in our defense, what's to stop ours or any other Government from taking away our other Constitutionally protected rights?
Lady: That's ridiculous. The Government will never take away my right to speak my mind.
Me: Actually they are taking away our rights at a record pace already. Have you heard of Free Speech Zones, Campaign Finance Reform, The Patriot Act, all the pending Gun Legislation in Congress, Checkpoints everywhere, and so on? Don't fool yourself Ma'am. We have what few rights we have left ONLY because we have the right to bear arms.
Lady: That's ridiculous. I don't believe any of that.
Me: (At this point, I find it pointless to further argue with someone who is mentally incompetent) Do all of us in Arizona a favor Ma'am, go back to California with all the other sheep, and leave us here in peace to live out our days in Freedom. Have a nice day. (I then walk away)
