I went to Subway tonight to order dinner for the family. When I went in, the place was empty. As I ordered (5 meals) a lady walked in and stood beside me. I apologized for taking so long. She was open and funny about razzing me about holding up the line. We joked a little back and forth. And one point she stopped and said "Mind if I ask you a question?" I said sure. She asked, "Is that legal here?" pointing at my firearm. "I mean, we just moved here from Salt Lake City and I was curious." So I explained a little about the laws. She said, "That's great, I all for it." I told her I'm not too worried about Parker and before I could finish, she said "Yeah but think about this past Christmas at the McDonald's."
I had completely forgotten about the shooting over at the McDonald's. I said "Good point." We talked a little about her kids and how she now asks her boyfriend to carry his firearm every time they go out. He's a CHP holder. I talked a little about the places you aren't allowed to carry. Finally, before I left, she said "Well if I ever see you in a movie theater I'm sitting next to you."
It was a pleasant talk. By the end of it, another customer had come in. And I had everyone in the store nodding in approval. The other customers and the lady behind the counter. Felt good.
