I live in a development of 1-5 acres parcels well out of the city. In Nevada open carry is legal. I usually get home about 4:00 pm, get out of my SUV and put my carry weapon of the day in my back pocket and walk to the mailbox to get the mail. Often I am passed by the school bus. My street is the last one it goes on and there are three streets left in the area that the kids walk or ride with someone to the bus. Last Fall I was at the mailbox and a new wanta be SUV was picking kids up from the stop about 200 feet away. I had never seen this vehicle in the area so I noted the plate and of course they were Kalifornia. The “van” drove by me and I could see a woman whose face went to sheer horror when she went by me. She drove up to the top of the hill and started gesturing and looked like she was on the phone. I went about my business in my front yard puttering around. About 10 minutes later a Deputy Sheriff who I am familiar with pulls up and gets out of his crusier. He smiles and waves to me and says “oh I thought it was you.” About that time this woman comes tearing down the hill stops and gets out and start shouting that the Deputy needs to arrest me etc. Complete irrational babbble. The Deputy tried to explains to her that in Nevada I could walk around all day with a gun out and it was legal. The woman went crazy. The Deputy called his Supervisor who arrived and tried to reason with the woman. She went completely ape. So the Supervisor hooked her up and put her in the back of the first cruiser. Now at this point I am laughing my a$$ off and having a great time. So the “van” is full of three kids and they are all crying now. The Supervisor puts in a call to CPS to come and get the kids and calls a tow truck to haul the “van”. About that time here comes another SUV wanta be with Kalifornia plates and it is the husband. He jumps out and starts screaming at the Supervisor about what have they done to his wife etc. So he gets hooked up and thrown in the Supervisors car. After about 5 minutes the husband calms down and talks his way out of the cuffs. He tries to get his wife released and the Super says no. She actually pushed the Supervisor at one point and he is sticking to her going to the jail. Long, short my Realtor told me they moved back to Kalifornia after taking a $30,000 beating on their house they had owned for three months. Couldn't take the “wild West”. Made me smile

Made me smile

Me too. What a great story.

As you can see from my page, I live in California, although I am an AF brat and landed here after living all over.

I am the descendent of Lexington Minutemen and pioneers in Colorado and Idaho.

I believe that open carry would go a long way to cure this country of its problems.

I'd like to see 0bama in the midst of a group of "packers," lol...
