My oldest (18) daughter came over today. My 4 yr old daughter was here all day because school is out. My boys (11, 7, and 6) were at school. My girls and I walked the 6 blocks from my house to to the school so my boys could walk home (seeing how nice it was outside today).
As most of you know, I OC. I also know where the property lines are at this specific school so as to not break any laws.
While I was waiting on the sidewalk with my girls (on the curb side of the sidewalk nonetheless) some douche canoe came over to me and we had the following conversation:
(the bell had just rang and there were tons of kids running to their parents who were there to pick up the kids)
Douche: Excuse me sir (politely at this point), are you a law enforcement officer?
Me: No sir.
Douche: Why are you carrying a gun at the school where all the school shootings happen ?
Me: Sir, I'm licensed by the state of Indiana to carry a firearm, which permits me to carry within 1k feet of a school legally. As you can see, I'm on the public sidewalk and am not breaking any laws.
Douche: Concealed or openly ?
Me: I'm carrying openly (DUH) but the state is silent on the issue and doesn't dictate how we carry.
Douche: but you're carrying here around all these kids.. use common sense man!
Me: Sir, I'm not breaking any laws, I assure you
Douche: (backs away and his demeanor changed to almost vengeful) Yeah ?? We'll see about that. Just wait.
My oldest daughter wondered what he sat on in the Lexus to be so uptight.
I retrieved all of my children, and we walked peacefully amongst the other little ones, along the sidewalks all the way home without further incident.
I thought this was rather odd.
A few points that I took away from it all.. (the guy acted as if he was angry that he didn't know what was legal or not, even though I do)
1.. why does it matter if I'm a cop ? (to the guy)
2.. Why wouldn't I carry at a school "where all the school shootings happen".. wouldn't you want to be prepared in the event of ?
3.. It was a couple months ago the local cops busted a meth house in this neighborhood.
4.. What exactly does "common sense" mean in the context of this conversation ?? I really couldn't understand what he meant.. lmfao (use purple on this one)
