I unfortunately, live in a neighborhood with a very clique-ish HOA Board and neighbors and it seems I'm in the minority on some viewpoints. I'm willing to give ground on issues and covenant changes the community wants to pass, etc. but I've been informed by a member of the HOA board that I am "causing concern in the neighborhood with my firearm".
See, I OC. I OC to work, I OC to client sites (not all), I OC to dinner, I OC walking my dogs, I OC. I choose to OC for various reasons. I OC period.
This HOA board member happens to be a LEO, and even though he prefaced what he wrote to me that he is a staunch supporter of 2nd Amendment rights, I don't believe him. How can I believe someone who says "you know, I'm a huge supporter of #2, but you should leave your gun in the house locked up because the sight of it scares the neighbors."
You would think this "concern" I'm causing is because I walk down the middle of the street, ghetto carrying...but in fact, the only time I walk around the neighborhood is with my gf and the kids when we walk the dogs.
How would some of you react to this? They're already making hints that since I choose to carry, that I can't be involved in the Crime Watch Committee. It makes my stomach sick that I'm being alienated in my own neighborhood by people I pay dues to no less. I feel like I’m going to be discriminated against because I choose to carry and practice my 2nd Amendment right.
What would you do or say?
