I went over to the local Bass Pro Shop to get a small 9mm handgun for home/personal protection.

When I was ready to pay for the pistol and ammo, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."

Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control wackos running amok, I did just as she had instructed.

When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out she was referring to how I should place my credit card in the card reader!!!

As an intelligent senior citizen, I do not get flustered often. But this time, it took me a while to get my pants back on.

I've been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions to seniors a little more clear.

I still don't think I looked that bad.

I knew that I wouldn't be in any legal trouble by carrying inside the store, but I still got a little nervous, being my first venture into the public as a CHL.

I almost took my gun back to the car, but I decided that since it was concealed, nobody would know anyway. And if I get kicked out of a store that I visit one or two times a year, that's no big deal anyway (since the wife wasn't there).
