Kinda agree with most, as it would seem placating. My issue is, I'm tired of giving up rights to placate others. Give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Open the door just a crack, they'll kick it in, kill your dog and wife, and put you in jail. I'm pro 2a, pro police, and pro America! I am not an open carry person, unless I'm heading to the woods to burn some powder, but it doesn't bother me one iota to see someone open carrying. I was heading today, to meet up with friends, and ring some steel in the woods. I was 1 mile from the turnoff, when I got a text to stop and get them a drink. I stopped in a local store, and was the only customer. I walked to the cooler, with my P239 hanging in an old Swiss duty holster. Once I was walking toward the counter, I realized she was staring at my sidearm. I smiled, tried to look unassuming (which is difficult for a tall, rotund guy) and started pulling out my wallet. She finally made eye contact, I paid, and walked out. I can see where it COULD be scary, but, if I were in her place, in a store just next to NC gamelands, I would expect to see firearms every day. After talking to other guys in the group, I found out she and her husband recently moved from NY and bought the store. They definitely decided to buy the wrong quickeemart, if they are afraid of guns. This store is in the middle of nowhere, is the only store in a small, fringe, community, and borders the gamelands.
