Getting groceries about a week ago and while going back a few isles to look for things my wife forgot, this older lady, about maybe late seventies or older, walked up to me in a somewhat timidly way, and said that she felt safer with "people like me in the store".
I saw her walk up, but the comment caught me off guard and I remembered asking, "excuse me" ?
She pointed to the gun on my hip and made the comment that she knew a lot of people carried guns these days and that that didn't bother her.
She said she had considered getting a lic. but decided not to and I told her she should reconsider and gave her a card with OFCC's website, my name , ph# and e-mail on it.
A few more things were said but it seemed like she wanted to be on her way......and so did I..... so the conversation didn't last that long.
This is about the fourth, maybe fifth time, someone has walked up to me out of the blue and said thanks for carrying or something of that nature.
Funny thing is, I don't remember anyone coming up to me and saying they "didn't" like it that I was carrying....guess that's a good thing ?
Think it's been awhile since anyone's mentioned such an incident happening to them in our forums here, so I thought it would make for some interesting conversation.
Anyone else out there with a similar conversation recently?
