Had another "encounter" a few years back at a Barnes and Noble. I was paying for my purchases and while digging for my B&N discount card, my NRA card fell out onto the counter. You would have thought I had dropped a live snake there from her reaction.
I picked up the card and tucked it away. That would have been the end of it, except she just HAD to give me a piece of her "mindset" about it. She started out: "I told my husband years ago that if he EVER brought a gun into the house, me and the girl (Curious phrasing, that. "The girl" ???) would leave forever."
With my usual propensity for returing fire when necessary, I asked: "You still married?" She affirmed so. I told her that I found it surprising because if it had been me.... "I would have told you not to let the door hit you on the butt on the way out." Needless to say, she didn't appreciate my glibness of tongue.... but at least had the common sence to realize that I was a person that was not prepared to put up with her crap. So she shut up and merely was content to glower at me until I left.
