People need to understand that Guns != Danger

So I was in the supermarket getting some stuff. As usual openly carrying my [url=http://www.xdforum.com/images/2/8/3/gallery-xds11-2.jpg]XDS[/url] 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

  • A gun is a weapon. Weapons are deadly. Why was that guy in the wrong? Why do you feel the need to take a gun to a supermarket? America must be really shit if you can't go shopping without the fear of getting shot.
