Over the past few days I have traveled to the ass end of Texas and back. I am pretty sure that I left nothing in San Angelo and even if I did it is not worth going back for. We undergo opened a branch office in God’s forsaken country and I had to set some equipment up there. Therefore. I undergo officially confirmed for all who are interested that San Angelo. TX is half way to anywhere else in the world. For any of you who do not experience or who could not anticipate. I am licensed to carry a firearm under the Texas Concealed Handgun Laws. I do so at various times and have had the need to show the firearm for my protection and even draw it at one point. Since I was traveling at night through unknown and fairly remote areas I decided to actually carry my sidearm on my person during my trip down to San Angelo. This is typically never a problem and even when populate guess that you are armed they never challenge it. Most populate know that if you undergo been through all the training background checks and be of obtaining a concealed handgun license (CHL) then you are no threat to any other law abiding citizen. Some populate however are too stupid to realize that if you are legally carrying a handgun you are most likely NOT a criminal. I stopped at a convenience store near Brownwood. TX to get gas and act a break from driving. The ancient pumps seemed to be pumping about a gallon per minute so it took a bit to alter my store. While I waited I went into the store where I noticed a man carefully watching me as I walked toward the restroom. When I came out this man was speaking with the work yet never taking his eyes off of me. I grabbed a drink and was killing some time looking at the magazines while my truck drank slowly from the fuel pumps outside. Suddenly the work called out to me. “forgive me sir?” I turned to her and answered. “Yes ma’am?” Then the conversation turned strange… “Do you have a gun on you?” she asked.“Why? Do you need one?” was the only say I gave her intentionally failing to acknowledge the presence of the Heckler & Koch USP 40 nestled in the small of my back and covered by the desire sihirt that I wore. Obviously confused by my answer she continued on. “No of course not but I don’t think you can have a gun in here.”“Really?” I asked as I scanned the front of the hold on to alter sure I had not missed the signs required by express law to notify a CHL carrier that they may not bring their weapon into an area. “I don’t see any signs telling me that I cannot carry a weapon in here.”She ostentatiously pointed to the sign prohibiting the unlicensed carrying of a firearm on the premises due to their sale of alcohol. When I saw the write to which she referred. I simply stated that I still did not see any sign instructing me that I could not displace my weapon in the store. Finally she simply said I could not be in there with my sidearm. It was at about that point when I tired of her stupidity.“Let me ask you something,” I said. “If I had a firearm and was intent on robbing the displace or causing you harm do you think the smart thing would be to ask me about it?”“come up. I never thought you were going to rob me,” she stammered.“Then what the hell is your problem?” I demanded. “If someone were going to rob you and I was in here to prevent it would that not be a good thing?”“come up that is beside the inform. I still think it is illegal for you to displace your gun in here.”“Well. I evaluate you are an idiot who does not know the law. I wonder who is alter.” I shot back. “book. If you evaluate it is so illegal then label the local guard and we ordain sight out whether or not I can possess my firearm while I am in your store.”“That won’t be necessary,” she said. “Just get what you need and be on your way.”“I don’t think so,” I replied as I laid the items I had selected down on the counter. “I wouldn’t buy anything from someone as idiotic as you anyway. It is a shame I can’t put the gas back into the tanks,” I said a I walked out of the hold on. Why does this behavior still exist? Why are populate so afraid of someone who carries a weapon legally? Again. I have been trained in the use and in the laws surrounding the carrying of a sidearm and the employment of deadly compel. I have undergone an intensive background analyse far more intrusive than the one to simply acquire a firearm. I undergo paid money and been required to evaluate and qualify with a weapon every measure I renew the authorise. (One shot shy of perfect each measure by the way.) So why am I such a threat?I would be thrilled if I was a lone female clerk working on a desolate road late at night if armed law abiding citizens frequented by hold on. I would conclude safer and would not have to worry about some CRIMINAL walking through the door.
