Thought I'd share, for sh*ts and giggles:
Yesterday at work, I came back to the office after showing a house (real estate agent), when I was carrying in by blackhawk CQC serpa holster on my belt, underneath my light jacket. After I came back in and took my jacket off at my desk, I walked up to the front to turn the key back in to the secretary, and she nearly had a heart attack seeing my gun "out in the open like that!" As soon as she recovered, she said "cover that thing up!" I asked "why, it's perfectly legal" (in MS, of course, can carry in your place of business any way you want to), and she said "people around here just aren't used to seeing people other than cops with guns like that!" Of course, in my book the more they get used to seeing it the better, right?!
I'm slowly winning her over from the DARK SIDE, and she is getting more and more accepting of me being a GUN NUT
I'm fortunate to work at a place where not only is carry permitted, it's encouraged! My boss took the CHP class with me and applied at the same time
Any thoughts on how to explain to her WHY it's OK for "civilians" to Open Carry?
