Ten days ago, while food shopping at the Barkley Haggen store, I stood in line next to a pistol-packing fellow customer. Shocked at seeing a weapon exposed in full view for all men, women and children, innocently shopping for groceries to view, I asked if he were a policeman. He replied, "I'm a concerned citizen."
Meanwhile, Starbucks Coffee, who rents space at Haggen, I believe was celebrating "take your lethal weapon to the store day."
Well, I too am concerned and so should we all be. I believe the far right of America have effected an armed take over of our country and if one complains, as I am, we're vilified as un-American. A letter to the editor in today's Bellingham Herald, "Guns needed for protection" was submitted by a bragging 215-pound Nooksack citizen. This cowboy, superhero answer to gun violence is typically lathered in bravado rhetoric. How pathetic! How tragic.

Maybe too scared to run and/or slippery underfoot. :uhoh:Clearly the poster was not a-scared as he waited in line with the carrier
I wonder who he/she calls when she is afraid?
I go there all the time.
Was just there yesterday, for some ginger beer.
Have had several conversations.
Curious to whom this whiny anti constitutionalist is referring too.
How pathetic! How tragic. I believe we have gone from the "land of the free, home of the brave" to a "land of fear -- home of hate."
He does realize that our right to carry ensures his right to tell us we can't.......or maybe he doesn't?
What an idiot.
Sorry, but is not why I carry. Not at all.
It used to be when I was on active duty in the mens' department of the Navy. Took an oath to lay down my life if needed do that and everything. Nowadays the way I honor my part of the oath is to be active in guiding the process by which representatives of the population are sent to all levels of government, and to remind folks like Mr. Michael Maryk of Bellingham that many folks have in fact paid the ultimate price to assure that nobody denies him the right to voice his opinions regardless of how stupid, misguided and pathetic they may be.
If I'm ever in Bellingham I'm going to carry his picture so I can remember that he does not want me to carry a gun, so by extention he must not want me to protect him or his rights. If he pays his fair share of taxes he has already "hired" cops and members of the armed forces to ensure his right to voice his opinions regardless of how stupid, misguided and pathetic they may be.
stay safe.

New Jersey? That explains a lot. If you don't like it, go home, or better yet go to Canada only a short drive north. No need to worry about peaceful citizens exercising their right to be protected from the evils of the world.
