Very similar to my favorite "You don't have to tell people everything you know".

Unfortunately some people feel the need to do so!

Because they're not inclusive of all types of people

Yesterday me and the wife stopped at furrs cafeteria on alta mere, inside the front entrance they have a huge 30.07 sign, told my wife they must not want anybody to miss it, she asked me what? I pointed to the sign, when we went in the young man at the cash register said I can see it, I told him no you can't, by his demeanor I knew he was messing with me and I knew my .45 was covered, the wife looked puzzled and I told her because I said something about the sign and the slight bulge of my t-shirt he figured I was carrying, told her he's messing with me. we got our food, ate and left, no problems.

"I can see it."
"See what?"
"Your gun, sir. I can see it."
"Gun? I don't carry a gun. That's idiotic. Those things should be banned, and anyone who carries one is a redneck looking for trouble! I was just pointing out your sign before we came in, telling my wife here that at least we won't see any of those whack jobs in here!"

Walk away.......

Heh heh. You sir have a highly developed oineriness.

Or, "they don't respect the civil rights of their customers".

The employee didn't deserve the truth so you should have told him what he sees is the bulge of a medical appliance and thank him for being rude enough to point it out!

[JALLEN]

It smells funny in there.

... and I don't feel safe there.

If you don't want to risk being "trespassed out", say nothing. If you don't care about being thrown out (given notice), say you don't feel safe in gun free zones anymore.

My response is always that the place is dangerous due to company policies. If queried further I explain about easy, soft targets where the patrons are defenseless and that persons wanting to shoot a lot of people pick those first.

And my favorite, " sure you can ask me a question, but no promise I will answer it"

I tell people, "Sure, I'll answer any question you care to ask".

The answer may be "I don't know", or it may be "That's not your business", but I always give them an answer.

Over and over and over. Then I taught those same lessons to my son.

Sounds like a wise man. RIP good sir.
