Gave up signing letters to the editor long ago for the reason you brought up. Is Dangerous to have an opinion the left dislikes. Am actually surprised the left is shooting more than they are. I’d carry all the time if hadn’t lost all ammo and weapons in that boating accident.
Funny you mention that, I have a CPL but don't but do have it in my car.
Had an incident just an hour and a half ago at my local Meijer where I observed a young black kid with his white wife and young baby in the self serve check out ahead of me.
He was chowing down on a bag of whatever and never scanned it at the check out.
I went up to the gal who watches over the self check registers and told her the kid hadn't scanned the bag. After he paid and was starting to leave, she went up to him and questioned him about it, he told her he had bought it somewhere else and had brought it into the stor.
There wasn't much she could do about it so she let him go...........I was watching him as he left and when he got to the exit door, he turned around and flashed a gang sign then flipped me the bird and left.......
A harmless situation but a lesson learned nonetheless...........Ya just never know........
