I went to the S&D gun show in New Bern, NC on Saturday, I hate to disarm for a gun show but my sons really wanted to go.
There were some nice guns and accessories there and the usual group of booths. I entered a few raffles and bought both of my boys a knife.
One booth had a raffle for a free CC class and when the guy asked me if I wanted to enter, the conversation went like this:
Me: No, I carry open and don't want a permit
CC'er: Really, well what if the you go to CVS and the minimum wage worker freaks?
Me: I'll leave and contact management
CC'er: What if she calls the cops? (starting to get himself hyped up about something)
Me: Not breaking the law
CC'er: What if he doesn't know that and takes you to jail?
Me: I'll sue their asses
CC'er: well you be careful, that doesn't seem like a good idea to me
Me: I am, never had a problem(as I'm walking away, no patience for this)
It struck me as strange that a legal activity that doesn't affect him at all was such a big deal. He was a little agitated when he got into the "what if" scenario, but it could have been worse, I thought he was going to start with the "you'll be the first guy shot" thing.
My kids thought it was funny especially after I put it into the "two types of people"* discussion.
It was funny to me because I've seen these types of discussions on here, but this was my first experience in real life.
*There are two types of people, the ones who want to be left alone and the others who refuse to leave them alone. I always try to stay in the first group, but a lot of people jump back and forth depending on the issue at hand.(drugs, healthcare, guns, religous freedom and so on)
If it doesn't hurt anyone else I believe there is no reason to join the second group.
