I walked to the store today and on my way back home a lady in her 20's hailed me for a talk.She first told me it wasn't necessarily about my openly carried gun but she had mentioned there was a matter of her kids and others asking about the man walking through the nieghborhood wearing a gun.She mentioned the police going through the hood looking for me the other day and I told her they found me about a mile away,pointed a gun at me, threatened my life and assaulted me.She was shocked and simpathetic at how I was treated,as I told her that I carry my gun in a holster for protection,according to the Michigan Constitution Article 1 Sec. 6 that states, " Every person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state ", and that my gun is too big to hide very well under my shirt as I am licensed to do so with a CPL.I told her that it is my duty to protect myself first, and that I would also protect any of the children and any adults who might be criminalythreatened to the best of my ability.That I have 38 years of firearm training for such a purpose,that I know the firearm laws much better than the majority of the officers,who showed their lack of knowledge of those laws and my rights the other day.I told her that there's no reason for anyone to have any fear of me,that I'm just a neighbor who believe's in protecting himself and his neighbors.She smiled and thanked me for all the information and said she appreciated me clearing things up and that she felt relieved that I wasn't a nut or a criminal.I told her I was glad I could help in any way and to have a nice day! It's all about education of those who are willing to hear the truth! It's those who do not accept the truth that are the problem and I believe it's the majority of people who want the truth,at least I always do! Truth is Life!
