Is anyone up for scheduling an open carry lunch?
My nervous nellie wife is always complaining about my open carrying. Up until about a week, she had held firm that no one open carries (except me).
My response has been and I still maintain, that most folks do not see the gun when it is being open carried because they are not looking for a gun and are preoccupied with their own task at hand.
If you have ever taken a seminar in which a video is shown of two teams passing a ball and being given the task of counting the passes, when about halfway through the video a man in a ape costume walks through and you did not see the ape - then you have experienced what I believe most people experience when overlooking the open carry. The phenomenon is called "inattentional blindness."
So, is anyone up for an open carry lunch in the Merrifield area?
