I GOT MY CONCEALED CARRY PERMIT YESTERDAY MORNING.



In the afternoon, 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!
Just need to wear underwear more often.

The sign on it said "ball washer". I don't see why that foursome of lady golfers was freaked out.

I was all ready to wonder what possessed you to get a concealed carry permit in the first place.

I think I mostly got it to piss off conservative friends and acquaintances who think only THEY should have them.


I think it's good for them to know that when their ridiculous conservative policies finally do bring about the apocalypse and they think they can go on unfettered, Mad-Maxian raiding parties there just might be some resistance.
