Hi folks!
Yes, this is Joe from "COMMIEfornia." (Geographically, NOT politically!) Good news! After our second visit to your great state, we purchased a home there, and will be moving OUT of this Cesspool of Socialism and back to AMERICA by the end of March, 2011.
We visited last November, and just this last September. Now we will settle into the town of Franklin, south of Bowling Green.
While I was there, I looked for OC'ers and CC'ers. I saw NO examples of either. (Yes, if you study someone long enough, you'll see them 'print') So I have to ask ... If I move there, and decide to strap my Glock 27 onto my waist, and OC in a hard plastic holster, and walk around town ... NOT to be "bad a*s", NOT to boost my self-esteem, and NOT to intimidate, but simply to enjoy the FREEDOM that CANNOT be experienced here in The Land of Fruits and Nuts, it is really true that no one would care?!
How would people receive me? "Some nut with a gun?" or would they TRULY not care?
I have to tell you that my first excursion into the free world with a sidearm will be exciting! Not unlike the first time I drove my car on a new license at age 16 without an adult in the car! It didn't matter where I was going. It only mattered that I was TRUSTED with a car!
You have to understand CommieFornia. If i were in a 7-11 store, and reached into my pocket to pull out some change for a candy bar,and a single bullet just happened to fall out onto the floor and be seen by some uber-liberal, the S.W.A.T. team would be called out, helicopters would circle the area, local schools would be evacuated and T.V. news crews would assemble behind the "safe zone" established by the local sheriff's deputies. NO JOKE! Did you know that if I were found walking down a street with a magazine in my pocket, with ONE bullet loaded in it, the prosecutor would charge me with carrying a CONCEALED WEAPON!?! EVEN IF I didn't have a firearm anywhere on or near my person!
So you see why i would be a bit nervous at first. I have 38 years of "training" to expect some knee-jerk reaction, rather than a sensible, down-to-Earth greeting from a fellow American citizen!
