I was waiting yesterday for a package(some cleaning patches/brushes for my AR15 and pistol) from Fedex. I was wearing my XD-40 as usual and the Fedex Guy arrived. I'm not sure if he was new or had just never encountered an armed citizen but I'm kind of glad he showed up.
I went out to the meet the guy at the end of my driveway as usual and he began getting off the truck.
I said "Hi, how's it going today?"
Him: "Things are go"(notices holstered pistol)
The poor guy literally stopped mid sentence. He turned about 3 shades of white, I don't know if he thought I was going to rob him or what. My pistol was holstered, my hands were in front of me we were beginning a pleasant conversation and then bam...fear.
I assured him that he had nothing to be afraid of, I'm just a law abiding citizen exercising his rights and that he shouldn't be afraid; I'm one of the good guys.
He quietly handed me the package, I signed his tablet and wished him a good day.
I guess it just goes to reinforce why we need to keep doing what we're doing.
