    Default Recent interactions in Wegmans & Lowes

    Recently I was at the Lowes in Bethlehem while in line at the cashier the guy behind me says is that a real gun? I said yes, he said you better cover it up, you can't be walking around open carrying. I told him that you can open carry, he said no you can't I have a carry permit I know it has to be concealed at all times. I told him he was wrong and to take out his license and read it the word concealed is not even printed on it.

    While shopping in Wegmans a young lady asked me very politely if any fellow shoppers every say anything to me about my handgun and I told her from time to time they do and it has always been the same comment. Thank you for carrying. She said it didn't bother her one way or the other, then smiled and walked away.

    Have a safe 4th of July.

    Lost opportunity to make fast ,easy, cash. Hit them with , "I'll bet you twenty bucks the word 'concealed' isn't on the front of your Pennsylvania License." Well, let me restate that more correctly. "Missed opportunity to have a liberal bed-wetter OWE you money". Liberals RARELY pay their own debts. That is what hard-working tax-payers are for.

    Still not sure why I need a license anyway, I thought the Constitution was my license? <*sigh*>
    I forgot how much I missed the slang from the 70's and 80's: "Bite me, dig?"

    The Second Amendment is the Right that's not really a Right. It's why people get hot and bothered over bakeries refusing service but are understanding and supportive of businesses that ask "gun toters" to get out. And let's not forget the cynicism gun owners have of fellow gun owners.

    Well, soon it will be refusing service if you're wearing anything with a Confederate Battle Flag on it. This is the rabbit hole Conservatives predicted Political Correctness would take us over 20 years ago.

    I think you missed a great opportunity to refer him to our web sight for help with any questions he may have. He'll learn a lot.

    I think you missed a great opportunity to smack that lady on her butt as she walked away.

    You missed a great opportunity to ask them if they ever heard of the Constitution, etc.
