He called it...a "laserscope."
Good morning everyone, and thanks for checking in here and there. Open carry encounters are few and far between now, which has been wonderfully peaceful. I'm actually beginning to consider *gasp* concealed carry on a more regular basis, because mental fatigue is a thing, and I am thirty five, after all. ;)
However, yesterday...there was this guy. I had stopped into a convenience store to buy a Thing. I went in, grabbed the Thing, and got in line to checkout. Another guy walked in, wanting to buy another Thing, who got in line behind me."Oh, that's a real gun," he said with genuine surprise, as if his first thought was that it might be a prop or a BB gun.
"Of course," I replied, smiling over my shoulder.
He goes, "It has a laserscope."
I almost died of asphyxiation trying not to laugh out loud and to only sound friendly when I replied, "Flashlight." I paid for my Thing and left, then howled in laughter in my car.
Oh, here's a picture of Chester, the new addition to the house.

Re: He called it...a "laserscope."
The ATF can eat out of my butt.
Almost a year of waiting, and the ATF denied my suppressor Form 4 because, according to them, another NICS check was left in an 'open' status, and - despite the fact that I've been background checked at least fourteen other times and every one has come back clean, I've worked with children and as a firefighter, and have never been in any trouble with the law that they didn't start since I was 21 - this means there may be something about me hidden in that unfinished background check which might make me a prohibited person.
'Oh yeah it's fine, he can have all kinds of rifles, anti-materiel weapons and all the body armor in the world....wait, he wants to keep[ his rifle quiet in the house in case he has to use it to protect his property? Oh no fuck all of that...ears are dangerous.'
