This was posted on another forum. I thought it was a great come back.
I was told this on Sunday by a neighbor of my brother. I was at his place when i was outed by my nephew when he asked me if i was carrying. I nodded at him and winked, which was seen by the neighbor.
He said anyone who carries a gun is just looking for trouble.
I said "You are right. I do look for trouble, so that i can avoid it. Too many people don't look for trouble and that is why they get hit over the head while loading their shopping bags into their SUV's in Wal-Mart parking lots".
He said "that isn't how i meant it".
I said "Dosen't matter. It still is true. And if i do see trouble coming, i know enough not to charge in and pretend i'm Rambo. But if i can't avoid it, i don't have to depend on someone else, like the cops who are atleast several minutes away even once notified, to protect me".
