Over the weekend I was at a gas station filling up my car
when a man walked past open carrying. I
should have gone up and thanked the man for exercising his right to carry. Where I live, just fifteen minutes south of
that suburb, we are not allowed to open carry.
I think maybe everyone who can open carry should open carry, maybe if
guns weren’t kept in the closet and made to be more of a taboo that maybe
people wouldn’t be so uncomfortable about them.
My mom works for a major retailer in a small town where
there is open carry, keep in my mind half my family is against guns, and she
was complaining to me how it makes her feel uncomfortable when this one man
comes in with his gun on his hip, etc. I
told her, you know you should be more worried about someone behaving
suspiciously and hiding their gun over someone who is openly carrying it, it’s
there in plain sight, everyone knows it’s there and you can watch them if you
feel that uncomfortable about it or exit the area.
I still haven’t told my anti-gun portion of my family of my
level of involvement with them, they know I go shooting on a regular basis but
I think that’s about all and for right now, I’m okay with that but I know
someday I’m going to have to fess up to things and I guess I’m just waiting for
the right moment to do so. (14.5)
8.5 more days, please hurry.
