A friend recently got his permit, and wrote me about his experience at BPS:
I went over to the local Bass Pro Shop to get a small 9mm handgun for home/personal protection.

When I was ready to pay for the pistol and ammo, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."

Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control wackos running amok, I did just as she had instructed.

When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out she was referring to how I should place my credit card in the card reader!!!

As an intelligent senior citizen, I do not get flustered often. But this time, it took me a while to get my pants back on.

I've been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions to seniors a little more clear.

I still don't think I looked that bad.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

My State Rep Hubert won't tell me his position on HB560. How about yours?

That was hilarious. And no my instructor didn't teach us the rules of the Wally Walk. I didn't know about that until after I joined this forum......
