I live "out in the boonies" so to speak, . . . and would surely love to promote the NRA, . . . shooting sports, . . . all that good stuff.

I don't though, . . . as I don't want to advertise as a shopping place for the low lifes around here.

As for the LEO's, . . . I'm told in Ohio, . . . any officer pulling over one with a CHL, . . . he knows it before he exits his cruiser.

But I do subscribe to the "perception is reality" concept to avoid confrontations. Parking lot loiterers I avoid, . . . I also avoid the "rob me, . . . I'm old, helpless, confused, and would be easy picking" look as much as I can.

But I do wear my OD, USMC soft cap with my nickle plated PO1 rank on it out in public. I've noticed at times that some scummies kinda recoil from the image it projects, . . . and I'm not unhappy that that takes place.

May God bless,
Dwight
