What would you do?

I must compliment yhou an what most people do not do - getting educated and gainaing konwledge about the situation so you do not act on your irrational fears. The one unknown that may still remain is meeting the neighbor and learning what kind of people they are. My guess is that your wife's fears would disappear. So many people say that perception is reality - that is crap. Perception is not reality, is just a perception not based in fact, therefore it cannot possibly reality until you gain facts and knowledge.

You should start a neighborhood watch and ask your neighbor to be the president.

I wish I had neighbors like that. More backup.

Open carry is a great thing and not that I do it often but when I do I would rather not be hassled for it. Last year in the mountains I opened carried while unloading our luggage from the truck to the condo. Got a few dirty looks from people but a fellow shooter with an NRA sticker on his truck gave me the friendly wave and head nod while his wife gave me the stink eye.

I'd gladly trade the pot smoking hippies (with their late night lesbian dinner parties*) next door for your new open carrying neighbors.


*No, its nowhere near as cool as it sounds ... real lesbians don't look anything like the chicks in those girl on girl videos.

How do you know they are lesbians? Got any pictures to prove it? Let us decide if they are

I would go over and say hi. They would probably notice that I was OC'ing as well and we could sit and talk guns for a while.

Is there any update on this? Has the wife come around on this?

I'm all good with always need more zombie shooters next door , now I know what to tell the wife.. Thanks guys

It's funny, some of my neighbors who don't have guns have been over while i was packing for the range or have seen me loading rifles into/out of the truck and some of them say "We are coming to your house when shit goes south". So even though some freak out at the sight of a gun, i think many have a comortability factor they may not always show.

[kwando]

like everyone said, be happy you have gun friendly neighbors. go over say hi, compare who's gun is bigger, and maybe you guys will be best shoot buddies.

does your wife freak out when she sees a cop carrying a sidearm or a rifle?

[Squeeze]

If they start carrying rifles and darting around from tree to tree, yelling at the "invisible voices", then you might have cause for concern.

Thanks for that Rondog... I can always count on one of you guys posting something that will sucker punch me right in the forehead and cause me to either choke on my morning coffee or violently spray it from my mouth onto the monitor. Good times.
