First negative experience

imported post

I open carry a fair bit, especially when I go shopping since because of my work schedule its usually in the middle of the bloody night.

Well a few days ago on my days off I actually manage to start running my errands while the sun is up and go grocery shopping at the local Wal Mart neighborhood market. I've never had an issue with the staff at the store, their day crew or their late night people.

In the course of my shopping a gal notices I have my weapon on my hip and makes a big show of pointing it out to her friend, shooting me a dirty look and leaving the aisle.

What amused the hell out of me is that I'm in the process of helping an older couple get a two liter of soda that they couldn't quite reach while shes having her little conniption.

No one at the store said anything and I finished shopping without incident. I was just really amused by it, the first time someone even notices me with it let alone has a negative reaction and its while I'm mid "good deed".

Made me chuckle.

That's so cool.

The supposedly "irresponsible, dangerous gun guy" (in some peoples eyes, not mine) is helping people who are in need, while the "better than you barbarians" anti-gunner is wetting herself and running away while casting judgement.

Makes me glad to be one of the "barbarians".

Gordie, You refered to the Barbarbians as anti-gunners and you are proud to be a barbarbian,does that make you a anti-gunner???? I'm confused.

Anti's are so illogical. First off if she discovered you had a gun and thought you might use it on her,why would she make a big deal of pointing it out to the extent that you would notice her? It is like she is jumping up and down saying here I amMr.gun-user please notice me in case you decide to shoot someone!

Their irrational fear of guns (owning/carrying) already puts them in danger, you would think that they would at least be experienced at slinking away quietly.

(I'm from Virginia and bored so I started browsing "recent" posts, have a good one!)

The "better than you barbarians" statement was representing how the antis often look at us, hence the quotation marks.
