We were escorted to the registers, where he waited with us. Then escorted to the front door. That was same old, same old.
Ø resist

Take away the second first, and the first is gone in a second.

I've been carded at Gander Mtn., Academy and one little pawn shop.

Then I got carded at FreeBirds when I ordered a beer and I accidentally gave them my CHL instead of my DL b/c I keep them together in the same place in my wallet.It completely confused the guy at the counter.He was like,"uh I dont need to know anything about your gun I just need your age." Even though my b-day is on the CHL I just handed him my DL anyway b/c he was already confused enough.oops! :???: :lol:
Those were the days. I can't even remember being carded except to see if I qualify for a senior citizen discount.

I've been carded twice in my life. Last time was 5 years ago at the Houston Rodeo. I was only 50 then
