Some sage advice was given to me tonight

[Rookie]

My family and I had just finished eating at a restaurant and the kids wanted to go into the game store. I was standing outside, smoking, and a guy was pulling out of a parking space. He rolls his window down and says, "you might want to cover that before you get shot."

They shoot people for smoking now? Wow I knew the bans were getting harsh but that is just uncalled for.

 

[Frank_N_Stein]

Your fly was open?

 

[Sylvain]

Was this guy a police officer?

Sounds like the kind of advice they give to people who OC.

I know smoking is a health hazard, but dang!

Careful with that "they" stuff. IIRC you are of French descent. I could make generalizations about you dropping your weapon at the first sign of trouble.

Did you have a combat cock hanging from your belt?

 

[jsharmon7]

Sounds like a threat, you drew down on the guy, right?

 

[tyler_durden]

Were you wearing a shirt with a big bullseye in it?

If it was the one with the Molon Labe patch, that was some life-saving advice the OP was given... We all know that tha poh-lees just shoot anyone displaying any indicator that they will not respect their authoritah...

 

[Armed-N-Ready]

Thanks for the advice.

I've heard something very similar. I wonder why sheeple feel their opinion is so important. Always best to smile and say "have a nice day". Although on one occasion I did respond with "thank you, I'm really glad I asked for your opinion".

Ok, I have to ask, I've seen it before, but I don't know what it is/means...what is IIRC?

 

[esrice]

Interesting phrase here. The guy was either trying to save your life or threatening to take it away.

 

[modelflyer2003]

He's right. That's what I do when I see someone OCing. I use my element of surprise (CCW) and shoot him. We all know that guns are dangerous and each year thousands of people are shot for Exercising their Second Amendment right. Glad he set you straight [all in purple of course. I cannot change the font color when using my iPod].

I still never understand the mentality of making a provocative comment to someone obviously carrying a gun, except for the thought that these people really believe that if they get into a confrontation that a cop is going to jump out of their trunk to help them immediately. On the other hand, maybe this behavior will help cull them from them herd . Its like a sheep pissing on either the sheep dog or the coyote, without really knowing which one it is they are provoking. Either way, I can't see it being a good idea.

Sounds more like you had a gun showing and didn't know it.
