Last week Yew st. Little Ceasars, was ordering that jalepeno crazy bread, and there was a 10 min. wait for it to be cooked. A lady walked in with her two young children, maybe 8 and 10 boy and girl. I heard them talking and thought I heard something about my gun so I looked over and the mother stated that her kids were wondering why I was carrying a gun and if I was a detective or something. Wearing shorts and a white t-shirt, so glock really stands out.
I explained that no I was just a regular guy standing up for whats left of our rights in what little way I can. The funny thing is we don't like to be stereotyped, but I am guilty of stereotyping that she would be anti and was pleasantly surprised that if she didn't seem that way in our conversation but had an open minded, and let her kids ask me all kinds of questions wich I answered to the best of my abilities.
At one point the younger boy said he didn't think I was a bad guy because he didn't think a bad guy would carry the gun like I would. We started talking about bad guys and how they don't like good guys carrying guns and that they hide what they are doing because they are bad. While talking about this a man sitting with his "wife" kept giving me dirty looks, he then got up got more soda giving me side looks the whole time, I noticed he had an ankle bracelet on the type the local sherrif uses to keep track of "bad men". He then left glaring at me but keeping his distance.
It made me feel good that in this very liberal and hippy town, there are parents who are open minded enough to let their children learn about our rights and why someone would carry. At the end of the conversation, she said she would consider taking her kids to plantation range on a Tuesday night, wich is family night for 20 dollars they provide a .22 rifle, box of ammo and targets for a family to practice with.
