[Ruger Collector]

The weather was great today, not too hot or too cold. My 1911 and I were really enjoying the day, even though we were in ‘unfriendly territory’ downtown were they worship the likes of Rocky Anderson and Karl Marx. Most people we encountered reacted to the sight of her as you would expect, some pretended not to notice while others would stare at her in horror as if they expected her to jump out of the holster on her own and start going off uncontrollably.

But there was one person who really made my day. While I was waiting to leave a store a little boy who couldn’t have been over 3 or 4 bursts out with “look dad, he has a gun!” I wasn’t close enough to hear his dad’s reply… A minute or so later the tyke comes up to me and informs me “you have a gun” to which I reply with a smile and a “yep”… he returned to his parents and announced “when I grow up I wanna be like him!” I expected to hear disparaging words from his parents but there were none.

God bless America! atriot:

Thats awesome! I just hope his parrents later told him guns are not toys, but hope they didnt tell him they are evil and such

In retrospect I suspect his parents were quietly supportive, it didn't seem like the little guy was discouraged at all from walking over to me for a visit.
