Honestly, if a person walks into a store I’m in with a holstered pistol, I feel safer.
I was with my lib-in-law in a store out in the middle of Ks when she nervously pointed out a man with a revolver strapped on.
I said, well, at least we don’t have to worry about the store being robbed while we’re here.
(Honestly, if the guy with the revolver were intent on something nefarious, he would have hidden the gun until the opportune moment.)
Yeah, plus many of them are really nice to talk to. Especially when you ask what they're carrying.
