I was at the starbucks on Havana and Mississippi on sunday and there were quite a few more people in there than usual. There wasa black guy sitting by the door (yes, there is a good reason for mentioning that he was black) and i noticed that he was watching me while i stood in line and while i ordered. after i ordered i stepped aside to wait for my tasty yet overpriced beverage. Two women came in and one asked me if i was in line and i told her no. then i hear the guy by the door say, "you're scaring everyone in here". I smiled and told him there was nothing to be scared of. he smiled back and said that he was scared. i don't know how serious he was or not, because he seemed pretty good natured, but slightly nervous. He said, "so that is legal now?" and i said that its always been legal, its just been in the news lately. i told him that it depends on the state that you are in and the business always has the right to forbid it. i told him property rights were just as important as gun rights. he said yes, thats true. he had an afrikan accent, and i suspected he was ethiopian. I asked him where he was from and he told me that he was from ethiopia. i was there a couple of years ago so we chatted about hiscountry and my trip there. at the end of the discussion, we shook hands and traded names. it was a good experience and i think he will remember it likewise.
so that was the first time in 6 months i have actually had someone say something.
