Hi All
I had some business to take care of at my state DMV. When you get there you take a number and wait. Since the wait usually takes 1-1 1\2 hrs I always take something to read, almost always firearm related. Never had anybody give me a second look until today. I had my copy of Gun Traders Guide 29th Edition. I walked in, took my number and sat down on the end chair of a row. I opened my book and started reading it minding my own business. About 5 min later the lady next to me gets up, never to return. About 15 min later I look up and the next 4 chairs to me are empty. I return to my reading and about 50 min later my number is called. I walk up to the counter and set my book down on it and gave my number ticket to the clerk. All of a sudden he holds his hands up in the air, points at my book and mumbles something I didn't understand. I quickly pulled the book off the counter and he calms down. I was using the book as a file folder to hold my paperwork as it is convenient to do so. Anyway I completed the rest of my business without any trouble and walked out although I did get the feeling that people were looking at me but I did not care as I had done nothing wrong. Although at one point I almost expected a Swat Team to come through the door. Anyway so much for my excitement of the day.
As far as looking like a gun toting wacko I am 56 yrs old, 5' 9", 165 lbs. balding grey hair and beard, wear a neck brace because I have severe degenerative arthritis of my neck along with other problems, wallk with a limp and am a doting grandfather to my 4 month old granddaughter. I think something is wrong here but I thought I would let the forum help me on this one. Thanks to you all for reading my rant.
