    Default I dont understand

    I carry my firearm everywhere its legal too and also at home and work. I find most people that come into my business are okay with it .
    But then their are the ones that dont like it and I tell them there is the door you walked in and no need to come back. I dont understand how people can read the news paper and watch the news and not want to carry. Whats wrong with people?

    Usually the people that don't like it when someone else carries are the same people that like to think the government or police will protect them if anything bad happens. They have a sense of entitlement to being protected instead of taking responsibility for their own protection.
    will that extra 15% matter? not as much as being able to put one in their face. ~Edg

    It can't happen to me because...

    ...I'm not a criminal.
    ...I stay out of dangerous areas.
    ...I don't look for trouble.
    ...etc etc

    Being reminded that none of that matters scares them so rather than face their fear they attack the person that reminded them they should be afraid.

    Why don't people wear a seat belt. Who do people smoke cigarettes or drink to excess and then drive? I could go on and on.....Who knows.

    Is it your company? Does your boss know you've taken customer service to that level?

    God do i love to drink me some beer. I don't drive after though My wife HATES my guns. Like i mean utterly detests them. But I still carry everywhere i can legally. I think some people just fear what they don't understand.

    just moved back to the burgh. took my grandson hunting coyotes in sc. his mother, my step daughter, has a fear of guns. my wife took a picture of us coming back to the house, and i had the pistol belt around my neck, because my hands were full of gear. i didn`t know she sent the picture. when the mother said something to her son about the pistol hanging on my neck in the picture,the 7 year old granddaughter "told her she has to lighten up, pap only carries a gun to protect us." FROM THE MOUTH OF BABES. i`ve heard nothing about weapons from her in years.

    Thats exactly what most of the people I encounter act like.
