Harrassed at grocery store for OC'ing

[abrewer15]

I just came home from my local grocery store and I ran to the computer to type this up while my memory is fresh. I was minding my own business and walking along the meat aisle checking out the specials when I get a tap on my shoulder....the conversations is as follows:

Lady: EXCUSE ME...WHY do you have a gun at your hip?

Me: Huh, pardon me?

Lady: Why do you have a gun? You are not a cop.

Me: Well...I am a lifetime licensed carrier and it is clearly written in the 2nd Amendment that I have the right to do so.

Lady: Well I just think that is wrong. What are you afraid of? What do you need protection from?

Me: Have a good day.

I simply walked away and I heard her scoff...apparently I didn't give her the reaction she wanted. I just figured I would share this my INGO family.

At least she didnt call the cops on you...

 

[Kirk Freeman]

You did great. Don't let the heckler's veto triumph.

Follow the Yoda Doctrine and remember our cheer--"we're here, we're armed, you better get used to it."

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Potential retort: "how could civil rights ever be wrong, ma'am?"

 

[Bunnykid68]

Should have asked her, how do you know I am not a cop?

 

[Garb]

When she asked what I was afraid of, I would have said "other people with guns". I kid I kid.

I'll be the first to say it (unless someone ninja's me) THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU CC'd


let the OC/CC war ensue!

 

[Kirk Freeman]

What are you afraid of? What do you need protection from?

*whispered tone* I need protection from the lettuce. *looks around, continue whispered tone* It can hear us.

Run, run, the lettuce can hear us! *run down the aisle*

Lady: Well I just think that is wrong. What are you afraid of?

Nothing, I have a gun.

Run, run, the lettuce can hear us! *run down the aisle*

(yeah, you'd get the coppers called on you for sure)

 

[IndyGunner]

Yeah, I would have either said... "how you know im not a cop?" or "f**k off" or "go back to california"

 

[Bunnykid68]

(yeah, you'd get the coppers called on you for sure)

and the folks with the straight jackets

 

[Squib]

I think you handled that very well. There was nothing to be gained by debating the finer points of constitutional law.

Brilliant!

Seriously, she touched you? Sounds like a good topic of conversation.

"Maam, do not, under any circumstances, touch me. Mahallo."

 

[IndyGunner]

"Maam, do not, under any circumstances, touch me. Mahallo."

Lethal force is authorized. LOL

 

[WOLFEMAN]

I agree with many, you handled the situation perfectly.

 

[trinitrotoluene85]

When she said "Well I just think that is wrong. What are you afraid of? What do you need protection from?" I probably would've replied, "I didn't come to the grocery store to get in an argument over constitutional rights, or your opinion of what is and isn't wrong. Have a good evening."

But your response was good too.

I also liked your answer of "I am a lifetime licensed carrier..."

Sheep's don't like the sheepdog because they're not smart enough to understand that the sheepdog is there for their protection.

 

[IndyGunner]

Sheeple* don't like the sheepdog because they're not smart enough to understand that the sheepdog is there for their protection.

oh... I also forgot, "eat a bag of dicks"

 

[PatriotPride]

I'd say it was handled perfectly. Just ignore ignorant people who have no real interest in discussion.
