"Plus, I get one of those neat ball caps that scare my co-workers. :)"

LOL. I was standing in line at a store, and noticed the guy in front of me wearing an NRA-ILA hat. He noticed me looking at the hat, saying guardedly, "Yes, it's an NRA hat." I then took out my membership card, which gave the guy a nice chuckle.

The lady at the checkout counter got scared, twice. ;)

I, also, am proud of "those neat (NRA) ball caps" and I wear them all the time. I unfortunately live in lefty-liberal NJ and commute to work to NYC. Am always getting dirty looks on the NJ Transit trains to and from work. I ignore them. I am a petite female, so, to others, my caps probably seem even more unexpected.

Just last week, I was walking on the Upper West Side (Moscow on the Hudson), and wearing my one that says "Charleton Heston is MY President." I must have gotten a dirty look from every third person on the sidewalk. (The other two out of three didn't notice or I'm sure they would have done the same.)

It isn't unusual for a stranger to make an occasional nasty comment and without missing a beat my first reply is, "Counting on the police to make it in time to save you when some rapist or murderer is breaking into your house is like calling Dial-a-Prayer." If they persist with the issue, so do I.

God bless the NRA and our pro-second amendment groups.

Meanwhile, because NJ is so anti-gun, I am going on Month Four in my wait for my gun ownership permit.
