[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 585831, member: 5"] Had a short, although interesting talk with the UPS guy yesterday. Normally he doesn't take the time to talk, especially this time of the year, but I happened to step out the door and was wearing my gun when he came so that he wouldn't have to come all the way to the front door. Normally I'd leave the gun just inside the door if it wasn't concealed because that could be considered "brandishing". But my neighbors know me and see me coming and going with guns all the time so I didn't worry about stepping out onto the porch. He/they are used to me answering the door wearing a gun and he/they have delivered packages to my house from what is probably dozens of gun/hunting related businesses plus a lot of bullets out of Canada. They know what I'm interested in just by way of casually noticing who the packages are from. Yesterday he stopped a minute or so and mentioned something I'd never really thought about. He said "you know, I have to go into neighborhoods and up to houses that most people would refuse to go into or near." It's part of his job and he does it but doesn't necessarily like some of the delivery points. Then he said it's nice to deliver to my place and said that my wearing a gun never bothers him. He said that he can at least temporarily relax in a spot where some guy comes to the door wearing a gun as opposed to some of the places where he knows there are people inside with guns that have them for illegal reasons. Never thought about it that way but they can't carry a gun and go into neighborhoods and up to homes I would not go near. Glad it's him and not me. :) [/QUOTE]
