I went to a small birthday party on Sat. I was filling my plate with food when one of the kids attending walked up on my strong side. She is a girl about 10 yrs old. She sees me carrying and initiates a conversation.
Girl: Hey you have a gun, why do you have a gun?
Me: To keep the Bad Guys away
Girl: The Bad Guys?
Me: Yes
Girl: No for real, why do you have it?
Me: Yes for real!
Girl: For real?
Me: Yes for real
Girl: Oh
Then she walked away
Another day I was at an auto parts store and a guy notices and asked if I got hassled by the cops for carrying a gun. I smiled and said yes, once. We conversed and he stated he is a transplant from AZ and has his permit for there. He moved here and was told it's not a good idea and he will have problems. He said he carried everywhere he went when he lived there. He stated he would start carrying if it would help the cause. I told him to make sure he educates himself on the places where he can and can't. He then had to rush off with his friend that was already heading out the door.
