Funny interaction with "conservative" republican today.

[C-grunt]

So Im at a gun shop today tooking around and getting a quote on possibly selling my Smith and Wesson M15. As Im walking out the door to my car, which is literally parked right in front, I get approached by a lady with a clipboard. I have the K-frame in my left hand holding it by the topstrap through the cylinder area which was swung out and the barrel pointing straight down.

She askes if I was Republican and I said yes. She then asked if I would sign some paperwork to support JD Hayworth (running against McCain for senate).

I told her I was a McCain fan and that he had personaly helped me with a problem in the past.

Well she starts going on about how McCain really isnt a Republican because he is to liberal and that we need a "STRONG CONSERVATIVE" in office.

So halfway through a sentence she looks down and sees that I am carrying the Smith and stops in her tracks mid word.

She almost yells "Oh My God! Is that a gun!"

I must have stood there with a dumb look on my face for about least 10 seconds. Then I kind of laughed at her.

I mean come on lady. You stopped me leaving a gun store, lecure me about need a strong conservative republican in office and then freak out when you see a gun???????


Luckily this kind of made her leave me alone and she began preaching to the guys who left right after me.

That'd have been a great video.

It always blows my mind when I hear a story like this in a 'pro-gun' state. Doesn't AZ have legalized open carry of handguns and rifles?

OMG, OMG! Is that, like, a GUN or something?! Ewwwwww!

Nothing surprises me anymore, but I did get a good laugh at your post. Thanks for sharing.

To me that just reinforces the fact that conservative\liberal doesn't always translate into pro-gun\anti-gun. Last time I had that happen to me I just responded with "yes....are those boots real leather?"

LOL, see what happens when you're caught pitching the global warming scam?

Sounds like it's gonna be a fun primary for ol' John.

LMAO. Thanks for sharing.

As a conservative Republican, I agree that McCain's not right enough for me. Beats a Democrat all to hell though. And, he's a great American!

I think it's funny that she was apparently standing outside a gun store and freaked out at seeing a... gun?

Also, the inevitable "OMG is that a gun!?!?!?"

No... it's a toilet plunger.

I'd love to see Hayworth beat McCain. Global Warming, GunShow LoopHoles, Campain Reform (a joke that was) he is a true progresive.
I hope that the AZ. residents retire him and that god forbid he doesn't try to run as President again.

So's McCain.

Regardless, this thread is pretty obvious political territory, and therefore off topic for THR.
