I wore my NRA cap — got lots of compliments on it, too — from my peers, no less — middle aged females!
lol — That’s cool.
I did end up taking a mock-sword, you know the kind you would practice Kendo with... and was told by the security guy that I needed to go put it back in my car. “Because we’re right across the street from the police station.”
Article 2, sec 6 of the NM Constitution + Amendment 2 to the US Constitution say I could have it. That dumbass. (In retrospect, I should have refused and carried on my business.)
