Ok, maybe idiot is a little harsh. Nah, he was an idiot.
I'm standing there at the glass counter, waiting to be waited on by the employee. The guy standing next to me is holding a compact XD9, waving it around, finger on trigger, pointing it in many unsafe directions(including at my head several times). He asked the employee "do you have anything less bulky for concealed carry?". Mind you, this is Illinois where we don't even HAVE carry laws. I assumed he was from Illinois because of the FOID card resting on the glass counter in front of him.
And then it gets weird. I suggest to him a glock 26. He says "I don't like glocks because they don't have a safety." Can you believe the audacity of this guy! Like he's one to talk about safety as he's swinging that XD9 around like a freaking mad man.
Rant over. I didn't want to start any crap with him because he probably had about 40 years on me and my advice probably would have fallen on deaf ears. Plus he was wearing a vietnam hat and I respect our military greatly. He's still an idiot though.
