I used to think people who did this sort of thing were real bozo’s that hurt the cause. Now, with all the anti gun hystria from every direction, I think it’s time for a little push back. If the mere sight of my fire arm scares you or 'offends' you, too bad. Go home, lock your doors and close your blinds.

PS. don’t sweep people with your muzzxle. it’s bad form.

If the mere sight of my fire arm scares you or 'offends' you, too bad.

Just had to share a story related to that. Before WI started allowing CC, but shortly after 5 guys got arrested for open-carrying at a restaurant, my parents' neighborhood had their annual neighborhood association picnic. As usual, they had a police officer drop by to talk to everyone and answer questions. the topic of open-carrying came up, and the officer said that if he got a report of someone open-carrying, he'd arrest them, because there were some people who found the sight of a gun offensive.

Well, me and my big mouth, I piped up and said "You know, I've seen some guys walking around with their pants hanging down and their underwear showing, I find that offensive, will you arrest them for it?"

While the officer was stuttering to come up with a reply, mom jumped in (I love you, Mom!) and said "Yeah, and some of these t-shirts with the curse words printed on them, I'm offended by that! Arrest those people too!"

Things started snowballing from there, with people shouting every possible thing that anybody could possibly find offensive. Hair colors, tattoos, halter tops, micro shorts.... you name it, somebody was shouting it! That poor officer could only stand there stuttering, looking like a deer in the headlights.

Sometimes the best way to draw attention to an obsurdity is with silliness.
