All of a sudden, he felt someone patting his waist. Then it dawned on him that he wasn't being patted, he was being patted down. He turned around, and there was an 80+ "little old lady" feeling all around his waistline, demanding, "Where is it? I read your shirt! Where is it at?"

About that time his order arrived, so he grabbed the bag and scooted out. :rolll

The NRA & TSRA are a bargain; they're much cheaper than the cold, dead hands experience.

If it was someone I know like Charles...SRVA...Anygun...DoubleJ...Kalrog...KBCraig...etc etc

More than likely it would be a question that did not have to be asked in the first place...

It has never been a question asked of me from people I do not know, work with, or even neighbors...

Concealed has always meant hidden from view, out of sight and mind...Not a topic of discussion outside of this forum...

That doesn't mean I do not answer a comment or question from somebody that tells me they are thinking about getting a CHL...Then I certainly tell them I think it's a good idea to get it...

At which point if they do not know who to go to, I steer them to folks I know...Little bits and pieces of the Steve puzzle start fitting at that point without me ever having to say yes or no to the original question... ;-)

Not trying to pick on you KB, we've both been here too long; but what's a "fast foot counter?"

He must have walked to the restaurant, and he to retreat in the same manner.

Technically, it is an assault -- any unwanted contact. IANAL, though.

It depends for me, too. If my mom or kids ask, or an LEO at a traffic stop, I'll tell the truth. Otherwise, I'll try to get a quizzical expression on my face, and say "Who me????" After all, as a fluffy middle-aged woman, I really don't fit the profile. :mrgreen:

Aw, it was just a little old lady feeling up a (probably good-looking) young man.
