I was carrying my Jennings Nine 9mm (yeah, a cheap gun, but it's my first one), and my wife wanted her usual smoothie from Jamba Juice. When I walked in, the "barista" (or whatever smoothie makers are called nowadays) asks me the following question: "Are you......here to rob me or something?"
I replied with: "No ma'am, why do you ask?"
"Well, you have a gun on you, and I've not seen a person with a gun around town."
"I am wearing a gun, yes..."
"Is that even legal?"
"Yes, ma'am..." (while handing her literature about OC)
(I then ordered my smoothies)
When I walked out of the shop, she mentioned to me as I headed toward the door: "You and your friends who carry guns legally are more than welcome to come here while doing so!"
"Awesome, ma'am!"
Then here's the second funny part - as soon as I get out the car, I notice 3 VPD cars lit up and 5 officers approach me. They do an e-check on me, smile at me, release me, and only reply with "We got a call about a MWAG, so we had to come. When we saw it was one of you OC'ers, we just did what we had to do, so please don't think we are picking on you."
(a few moments go by of cracking jokes and just chatting)
"We WANT more of you running around here in these parts. Have a nice day, sir..."
My reply: "Thank you, gentlemen! You have a great day too!"
I get into my car, roll out of the parking lot, and head back to the house...
Good day, good e-check, and good graces from the men and women of the Vallejo Police Department...
