We had our neighborhood watch meeting at our local police station last night. I walked into the meeting room and noticed a sign that stated, "No Firearms". Of course I know this is meant for visitors like myslef, but I couldn't help but laugh at the irony of a "No Firearms" sign in a police station... :wink:
Anyway, I politely excuse myself to quietly lock my SIG I was CC'ing in my car.
When I reenter the meeting room, everyone asks why I left. I tell them that I mistakenly carried my gun inside and to respect the law, I had to lock it up in my car.
The woman nearby has this shocked look on her face, "You carry a gun?! Are you a police officer?"
Me: "No ma'am. I'm not a cop. That's why I left to secure my weapon in my car."
Woman: "OMG! Why would you carry a gun?!"
Me: "Why not? Heck, I always carry when I can."
All women at the meeting: "GASP!!!"
Me: "Hey, you never know who you'll run into."
I was a bit surprised at the reaction, as the meeting was about crime prevention in Alabama...
BTW: The guys at the meeting backed me up and I think were even a bit jealous. :image035:
