I have had a few encounters this year, none of which deserves a post of their own so I will lump them together here.
1. Mr. joker. I go to the corner market once a day to get smokes and such. All the people who work behind the counter know I O.C. and we often have conversations about it. Well they are all comfortable and don't even think twice which led to this uncomfortable situation which could have ended badly. I walked into the store and was in line when one of the clerks said "hey don't shoot!" he was kidding of course but a lady in line looked a little shook up and was looking around. I said something along the lines of "dude you are going to scare someone saying that". He let everyone know he was kidding.
2. More Bank officials. So I went to US bank off of Stephanie in Henderson to transfer money to another account. I noticed the manager follow me to the tellers and stand over her shoulder while I completed my transaction. I figured had something to do with me O.C.ing so I simply told the manager "I didn't do it!" with a smile. She asked if I carried a gun everywhere and I said yes. She said that it might scare some of the tellers to which another teller responded "pshh oh him? he is harmless. I've seen him in here a lot of times. He wouldn't hurt anyone." Everyone kind of laughed it off and I went on with my business.
3. Mr. Busybody. We all know this guy. He is the worst. I went to Smiths and this guy is standing near the entrance. I grab a cart and make my way to the veggies. I hear "sir sir excuse me but they are going to call 911 because there is a bank in this store. i know this because I work security." i just wanted avacados now I have to deal with the same jerk off that calls your HOA because your dog took a leak near his lawn. I told him it was o.k. and that I bank at that branch and it would not be the first time someone called 911 and to have a nice day. A few minutes later I saw him on the phone staring at me.../sigh I left before any police arrived.
4. Mr. gun expert. I have been told what kind of gun I carry and often it is wrong. When I correct Mr. gun expert they still don't believe me. Like dude seriously I'm not going to lie on the make/model/ and caliber while at the car wash.
5. Pizza guy topped with .45. I went to pick up a pizza and the owner saw I was armed. He pulled out a .45 unloaded it and handed it to me showing off his new piece. We had a great conversation. I only get pizza from their now.
6. Mr. moron who thinks I'm an expert in the physics of firearms. Grocery shopping has become a chore these days when I go at rush hour. Some guy stopped me and wanted to know about guns. He brought up a recent shooting he saw on the news then posed this question to me. "can a 9mm semi auto in a backpack fire if the backpack is dropped" I'M F*CKING BAGGING UP APPLES, DO I LOOK LIKE RICHARD FEYNMAN? My answer was that anything is possible if the right set of circumstances arose.
Well I hope you are entertained and laugh a little. I'm sure you guys have run into these types of people before.
