*Cliffs at bottom*
I am relatively open about my CHP and the fact that I carry "on occasion" (I carry as much as possible but they don't need to know that). So most of my good friends know. This has caused the usual "why?" questions and the typical non-understanding of some of my more anti-friends. All are "accepting" and don't give me any real grief about it.
Occasionally they will razz me about being "paranoid" and whatnot--all in jest. Well, recently they have started to become much more "accepting" of my gun. Since April the VT police have been doing a little CYA with email announcments about crime on or around campus. The last couple of weeks have been rather eventful around these parts:

A couple actually said "I hope you are carrying" and "its a shame the guy that got stabbed wasn't carrying" or "what does it take to get a CHP? Can I come shoot with you some time?".This is an update concerning the incident outside of Newman Library on Monday, August 27.
