When will people learn that "sheep" is a [FONT=arial, sans-serif]pejorative term that does great harm to promoting gun rights.

No, sheep is actually a rather tasty older cut of lamb.
BOHICA does much greater harm in keeping gun rights.

Same reason I own condoms and whisky. I like to party.I'd say the number one question is "why do you own guns?" I always say "why not?"
During the first week of goose season this year I was with a buddy hunting out of a kayak near the edge of a pond/ cranberry bog and we overheard a woman who was walking her dog and staring at us say: "I can't believe that's legal." Well it is lady, so go screw.

Just stop and stare at her till she goes away. Don't say anything. Just stare.
thats awesome. But it'll soon be illegal like shouting fire in a movie theater.How about:
"Lady, you REALLY need to get to a radio or a TV..."
<look around and start running into the woods, looking back over your shoulder>
Just before you disappear into the woods, shout back "Don't let them bite you!"
One thing you could have done is file a hunter harassment complaint form. Mass does have one of those, right?
I don't think asking "What are you doing?" and "Are you hunting?" constitutes interfering with the lawful taking of game, especially in an area where he has already acknowledged that he is not actually hunting...
^^^ This.
Shooting trap this weekend. One of the guys starts in "assault weapons, herp, AK47, derp, blah, blah, no one should, etc, etc." while standing there holding his shotgun in front of about 8 other trap shooters. He was rather quickly informed of his error in reasoning.
WRT the Hunter Harassment - I agree that it's not harassing to do what Ms. Walker did....and, if the OP was in an area where hunting was unlawful (too near a road, etc.), even though he was NOT hunting, it's possible that Ms. Walker would freak out.
A call to the EPOs, saying, "OK....This just happened...." might make sense.
What a world [state] we live in.....that this is even considered.
Are you hunting? Nope, just taking my gun for a walk; here's your sign.
Found out today how right you guys are about the sheep

Here she is and her reaction once she found out you had a rifle...
I still can't wrap my head around how irrationally scared the woman was though.. Almost feel sorry for her until I remember she votes, then I vomit a little.

It's truly a "mindset" thing. The woman is most likely an omnivore (i.e. not a vegan) but the thought of where dinner comes from is one that she will not or cannot entertain.
I told a story about my son, at conservation camp. He had chicken pot pie in the Field to Table class. It started with chickens. Going around saying, "Bawk....bawk...." (OK...I suck at chicken noises, typed) and ended up with dinner.
For most people, the thought that one would "do the dirty work" for oneself is absolutely alien. And, being dressed up in all that weirdo orange just makes you more abnormal.
I'm always reminded of the newspaper letter to the editor where the writer was against hunting, and thought that people should get their meat at the store where no animals were hurt.
I'm making a lot of assumptions here, but consider this.....you're as much of a mystery to her, as she is to you. And you're the one with the killy gun-thing.
I do have to give the wackjob lefty moonbats some credit. Hunting is now on their "sustainable" radar. With all their efforts against factory farming, many are now realizing that if you are going to eat meat, there is no more "ethically sound" meat than meat that was hunted.
Did you tell her?Your safe, I dont have a doe permit.
