Well learned something today!

[bersaguy]

I had one of my bait customers stop by today to pick up a bait order he had placed last week. I have known him about 10 years. I don't consider him a friend but more of an aquaintance and a bait customer. He had a few friends with him and as I was getting his order packed up I was looking at him and his friends and he and one other was printing big time. I handed him his bait package and said hey Chris, just wanted to let you know you and your friend are printing and not very well concealed. They didn't know what to say.  Chris has told me to my face in the past that he is totally anti-gun and I have seen him on the news a couple times toting signs saying so in protests in Nashville.

Chris turned a pail faced and his friend tried to pull is shirt down more. He paid me and thanked me for the baits and they left. I would not have said a word had it been a friend that I know is pro 2A cause he would know I am Pro 2A and I started not to say anything to Chris but I wanted him to know that he is a liar in a nice way. He talks the anti talk but does not walk the anti walk. I often wonder how many folks like him are out there????

He already knew my view on 2A and his friends knew soon as they walked in and I had a Bersa on my right hip in open carry. I put it on when he called to tell me he was coming to get the baits.

Liberals are hypocrites. Heck, at some point, most of us are hypocrites. Most libs I know assume they are much smarter than every other human. Sounds like your customer shares this line of thinking.

I guess your probably right greg. I bet he does not order any more baits from me. I have learned if there is anything a Lib hates more than a 2A person is a 2A person catching them in a clear bare faced lie....JMHO

If I've learned anything, it is that people will disappoint you.

I would not say he disappointed because I had seen him on the news holding anti-gun signs in protests. It did kind of surprise me to see him and a friend both packing when they are preaching Anti-Gun Reterec on TV. It also tells me I might need to be more careful about who I let in my house even though he has been here a couple times in the past to pick up baits but was alone.

[gregintenn]

Who knows? Maybe you helped convert him to our side.

[Grayfox54]

Typical liberal attitude. Laws are for you, not me. 

[DWARREN123]

At least they were carrying, maybe their minds are changing slowly.

Well if he does accidently order any more baits from me and is going to come by and get them, maybe if he is alone we might be able engage in some type of dialog so I can get an idea as to why he is anti-gun but still carrys one. I'm guess his life has been threatened by some gun owner with brain smaller than a pea is why he might be packing. I do have his email address.

I require it for everyone that orders baits. I might send him an email and see if he will reply back. He did not seem mad or upset when he left but more almost thankful if that makes any sense. 

I don't have a clue how to word the opening statement of the email if I do write him. Any ideas????

I'm curious...

Hi. Maybe something really simple like: "Hey Chris, I didn't mean to put you on the spot when I mentioned you printing, but I thought you'd rather hear it from someone you know than from a stranger." Then go on from there. Just my $0.02. Ed

If I had never seen him with those signs on TV I would have never thought he would be the type that was against fire arms. I think what I would like to know is was he being paid to protest or doing it because he believes that junk?

I meant that is how I would start the email. "I'm curious..."

Seems to me that you outed him out for his job. Paid protester. Either that or they (the left) are becoming paranoid and feel that they need to arm themselves. 

Hopefully he has some training at least.

Like I said, he has been buying baits from me about 7-8 years and we have talked about things more or less fishing related but he knew I was pro 2A cause I always had a gun on yet he still bought baits from me. That is why I would like to get a dialog started with him to learn more about his actions. Evidently he was packing so I think I would like to know more about his thinking.

[gary_boom]

He maybe anti you having a gun but not anti him having a gun.

[Raoul]

Maybe all his friends are liberal schmucks and you outed him
