Went to go stand in line, few seconds later some other guy joins me in line.
A few more seconds later, he evidently notices I am carrying.
"Woah!" he said as he took a step back. As if there was suddenly danger present.
"You are fully loaded aren't you"
"What do you do?"
He asked me this as if I must have been some off duty police officer or something.
"I am just a citizen" I said.
"You don't see that everyday" he said.
I sort of shrugged and said "Yeah, I guess"
People these days have the situation awareness of an upside down turtle with dementia.
I'm standing there in line, basket of groceries in hand, wearing jeans /w a nice tucked-in polo shirt and sandals.
THREAT LEVEL TRIPLE BLACK DIAMOND RIGHT?
No.
This is why I carry openly ( usually )
People need to understand that despite recently shootings, guns are all around you in the hands of normal, and safe citizens. And that seeing a gun != danger
