    Default Grocery Store encounter

    Deli Lady: Why do you have that gun?

    Me: For self defense wherever I go.

    Deli Lady: I didn't know people could carry like that.

    Me: Yes. You can conceal carry with a LTCF but any law abiding citizen can carry openly even without a permit except in a vehicle which requires a LTCF. The reason I carry openly is as a deterrent to any potential criminals that might be thinking of initiating criminal activity around me.

    Deli Lady: So, its like a second chance for them?

    Me: Exactly.

    She nodded and smiled and I gave her a tip of my hat and walked away.

    That story would have been so much better if you had hit her first...

    Good job.

    When I OC, I amazed at how almost nobody notices.

    And I would also be curious to see all of these stories about people who OC being targets for BG's.

    Myself, I believe BGs look for easy marks.....armed citizens who know how to use their guns are certainly among those.

    After stopping off at work to pick up tomorrow's schedule, thence to Box Seat Video to drop off some CDs (yes, I rewound them before turning them in), I wandered the aisles of the local BiLo supermarket. No comments from anyone! I did hear some young lady go, "Oh, wow!" in the parking lot, but she could have been discussing something with her boyfriend as the two passed by me.

    Box Seat Video is still in business? I thought they shut down.

    I've never rewound my CD's. Is that why they only play one time?
