A little paranois is healthy. Where is the line?
I told my wife last night, that if I'm anywhere and sombody jumps up and starts yelling "G-d is great" in English or Arabic, they're going to get double-tapped and I'll deal with the consequences later.
Later this afternoon is my 8 year olds first BSA event of the season. A hundred or so little kids and a couple of adults. I've already started giving serious consideration to moving my backup gun from a pocket revolver, to a second 1911 in an IWB holster (It's getting to be coat weather here in PA, I could conceal a shorty AR if I needed to).
And for this outdoor event, I'm thinking I should have an AR15 in the truck, easily accessible, with a half-dozen 30 rounders (that's what those 6 pockets on the case are for, right) ready to go.
My wife runs 63 GSA troops in this area; some of those little girls are now missing parents (a large percentage of my neighbors commute into NYC for work. That's what I did when I first moved here). I'm sure that the Boy Scouts are in the same position. I don't want to see any kids hurt.
My feelings on this whole thing are likely skewed by the fact that I was supposed to be at the WTC on the 11th,resenting at a technology briefing (and scheduled to talk at 10:45). A timing conflict resulted in me not being able to attend.
anyway... Am I just getting carried away?
