Seriously???

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

At the local gunshow this Saturday there were about 250 persons in line to enter about an hour and a half after post time. Line moved fairly quickly but two hours later the line was not much shorter. Funny thing though even with the line outside and sardine can like atmosphere inside every single person was courtious and patient (even when I stepped on their feet).. Gunshow participants are not the problem. As I was leaving I stopped to say hello to a friend who was engaged in a discussion with a protester with a sign reading somthing like "do you really need an AR15" . She was very nice so I engaged in a bit of back and forth. I asked her why she was alone. She replied that her husband was duck hunting wich I found a bit ironic. We spoke for a while and I thanked her for her courtisy and told her I respected her courage to air her views to an unreceptive crowd. In parting I asked her if she would like to know why I carried a gun to which she replied yes. "Because a when seconds count the police are only moments away" (author unknown Jeff Cooper perhaps). Very nice lady if a bit misguided. Even with 200 + people in line most with an opposing view to hers no jeers or negitive comments in the few moments I was there. Hopefully I have not veered into prohibited comentary just wanted to make a point that the vast percentage of lawfull gun owners are peaceful folks and good neighbors as evidenced by all the helpful folks on Milsurps.com.
