I have read all the posts about nutty moonbats approaching people and making comments about NRA shirts ect.
Tonight at my 7yo's softball tutorial session, some little man (he was literally very small) approached me and said "I like your shirt". I said "thanks". The guy then said "you are brave wearing that shirt around here". I am not usually slow on the draw but I couldn't really read where he was coming from- was he a FUDD? - a million mom lover? Was he legitimately complimenting my shirt? I ended up saying "we (gun enthusiasts) are living here too so what's so brave about it?" The guy then looked nervous and said "I'm just messing with you" and walked away. Now keep in mind I'm with three young kids and I'm clearly not presenting as a threat (I can't imagine anyway) because of a T-shirt... right? WTF was that about? I know i'm going to go spend an inordinate amount of $$$ on new 2A shirts to wear to all future sporting events. I live in Bridgewater by the way.......... It didn't even occur to me that a friggin T-shirt would anger people- this is my new hobby..
