So I took a buddy out for a birthday breakfast after duck hunting today. I didn't really think about it, but was wearing my camo gear (a mixture of various patterns, all non-military) and EVERYBODY in Cafe Patachou at Keystone at the crossing gave me a hard look a few times. (it is a great restaurant if you like good omelets, but a bit pricy) Kinda funny really.
While sitting at the bar we struck up a friendly conversation with our barmates, at one point a gentleman asked if if we had been hunting and commented on our clothes. I reflected that this probably doesn't happen much in this area (camo in Keystone) and he agreed but smiled and said it was a good thing.
The older lady next to me however said she thought it was horrible, especially after the shooting yesterday. I was taken back by the comparison, and sternly said I don't see the connection. She said that he was hunting children, (witholding my anger) I looked at her and commented that if someone came in the front door of that restaurant looking to do the same, I may be the only one in the building that would be able to fight back. Also that us camo crowd are sickened by this as well and would have tried to stop him if able.
At that point, we both decided the conversation was over and I went back to my awesome omelet. I may have heard a collective sigh of relief as i walked out of the building however...oh well.
