I look out and here's a guy on a bicycle with a full coverage helmet & sun glasses...
It was Friday and my wife and I were eating in a little Chinese place we like and as always, I'm sitting facing the entrance, admiring the beautiful day through the big glass store front.
Off in the distance I see this guy riding a bike (bicycle) toward the restaurant. It seemed strange that he had on a full coverage helmet and sunglasses. Hmmm, I thought, I doubt he's coming here. But...
He parks his bike out of view and I'm starting to wonder. I see him moving toward the entrance with his helmet and sunglasses. As he reaches to open the door, I'm really wondering why he's coming in with the helmet and sun glasses still on and why am I discretely confirming the safety on my Beretta 92fs is off for the second time.
As I watch his hands, I see nothing especially threatening, but I've already made sure my cover garment is going to clear my gun cleanly.
Finally he pulls the sun glasses off and then the helmet. And so it ends. But in today's society, it could have ended very differently.
