Was asked,why are you carrying that gun like that

[akapjr]

My wife and I were in the dairy store(the cup) in bethlehem today.It was packed with people getting ice cream.As we were exiting the store a man said excuse me,my wife wants to know why you are carrying that gun in the open on your hip like that.Before I could answer his wife said,are you a cop?I said no.She asked,then why do you feel you need a gun?I said you never know when you might need it. The husband seemed interested in oc so I gave him a flyer and explained cc and oc to him.His wife kept telling him,you are not getting a gun so don't even think about it. She asked me,doesn't everyone keep giving you grief about carrying open like that? I said no,and the bethlehem police do know the firearm laws and do not give anyone a hard time here. I said goodbye as she kept an eyeball on my right hip.

That 'man' doesn't need to carry a gun. If he is ever accosted in any way , all he has to do is have his wife talk to his attacker.

He'd better be careful nobody steals that little slice of angle cake away from him.

I just answer because I am too lazy to try to hide it. Shuts them right up normally

Sounds like a good encounter. So people will not have to ask, it will be comon place.

nehhh....that man needs to sell raffle tickets at the local Sunoco so he can rid of his "wife."
Anyhow....I had several encounters over the past 5 years and while most are positive, some people walk up to you and ask "Do you feel like a bigshot now?"
Some are eager and ask "why" I am carrying and most of the time you can see, by the looks on their faces, whether they are curious or just out to start an argument. The latter happened to me about 5 or 6 times and my answer is always..."because it is my right."

Cause people would look at me funny if i taped it to my forehead???

Cause a cop doesn't fit this snugly against my hip???

There it is again. For some reason the antis always base important life decisions on feelings and emotions. It doesn't matter if you feel that life is a bunch of flying unicorns farting rainbows. If they would take the blinders off they would see the world isn't nice.

Sorry I've just been arguing with antis a lot lately and had to get that out.

"Why do you carry a gun like that?"

"Because if I carry it in my hand I'd probably get arrested!"

Bingo! These are more than just antis, they are liberals. Their entire belief system is based on what they feel, rather than objective reality. They are ruled by their emotions, which is why they are so screwed up.

Clear thinking people use their 5 senses to establish an accurate view of the world around them. They then determine what they need/want in life, in other words, their values. They then rationally figure out what actions help them secure the valued objects.

Emotions are feedback telling us whether our thoughts and actions are in sync with our values. When they are, it results in joy, happiness, and love. When they are not, it results in sadness, fear, anger, and so on. Therefore, a person can only make good decisions based on rational thought and accurate knowledge of reality, not emotion.
