Red and I are going to be taking classes to carry a gun starting this next month. Mind you we do not plan on carrying a gun on a day to day basis. As of November 1st we now have the open carrying act law. We were in a local grocery store last week and encountered a man wearing flip flops, sagging sweat pants and a tank top, his wardrobe was finished off with a nice military style gunbelt strapped to his leg which helped his asscrack to shine like a full moon. I was quite startled at first because I had no idea I might encounter a need to have a pistol on the chip and dip isle. It's not like he had the last box of Twinkies on the planet earth.
On the serious side, we are going to the classes to learn about the safety of firearms and what to expect with this new law. We dont' hang out at places where we feel we will ever need to carry a gun but it never hurts to know how to shoot one.
