I've got a buddy who's a serious lefty...I bring a gun to work from time to time to show to a co worker, and when my liberal friend is there, he acts all nervous about the gun, he'll walk over, ask to handle it, so I let him, then he procedes to pick it up like it's a stick of dynamite with a lite fuse, puts it back down, and then usually says "be careful with that". I was talking about guns a different time &about how I wanted to buy a certain one, and he jumped into the conversation with "thats just what everyone needs...more guns"...with a sarcastic tone, you see, he's the sort of fella who likes to have a gun or two himself...but doesn't really want anyone else to have one. He told me he has a Sig 9MM, with laser grips, and a special eye apparatus that you can wear, and see the laser at night, when the naked eye cannot, he also has a Remington model 870 12 gauge.....God forbid the rest of us have a gun though....we're pretty good friends, but we butt heads constantly on politics and rights...especially the right to defend yourself, wich seems to be getting neglected.
Another person I know, nice lady, hunter, outdoorsperson....overheard me having a conversation at work with a buddy about a cerrtain revolver I wanted...a snubby, with crimson trace laser grips....she butted in the conversation and asked why on earth I would want a gun like that, and that it's not used for hunting, so why have it? I politely looked at her and said
"I don't think I have to explain myself to you, this is still America, isn't it?"...so she went back to minding her own buisness......
