No it wasn't! It was over the top, inappropriate, and just plain stupid.
I was there all day and watched the kid. (Sorry Dejeeper, damn near everyone is a kid except Grapeshot:lol
.
He wasn't dressed in BDU's or goosestepping and didn't have a black T shirt and thick framed glasses or respond to everything with Military acronyms.
He had lunch with us and didn't attract any undue attention.
He was dressed well, spoke well, was reserved and mannerly.
It wouldn't have been my first choice in carry guns but then neither would one of those silly little plastic things that many members seem to love.
Year before last we had a member that carried a pistol version of a double barrel shotgun. He did get a lot of attention including the Capitol Police looking for his papers (which of course he didn't need because it wasn't a SBS).
I'm not arrogant enough to dictate what someone else wants to carry as long as they conduct themselves in a civilized manner.
