Funny, us Calgarians are a pretty laid back bunch.
I would surmise that's why the two looked "bewildered" when the man became brash and standoffish because the two were "invading his space", and simply asked the guy a question. I assume the two were referring to the Calgary Stampede? Maybe it was going on at the time these two were vacationing there, and they were simply asking them if they went? Guess you have to have a certain attitude and demeanor when confronting a stranger in Kalamazoo, MI.

Someone can take a gun and shoot an innocent person "because they can". What's your point?
When you are driving your vehicle you are "using" it. Until you pull the trigger on that weapon, it's not being used. Get it?
They dropped the speed limit to 55 because of the Carter Gas Saving Initiative. More deaths occurred on the freeways during long drives due to exhaustion and falling asleep at the wheel because you were on the road an extra 45 minutes to an hour driving 55 than 70. Driving the flat, straight roads in Texas is a little different than driving winding, inclined mountain roads in Colorado.
If a cop points a gun at a suspect and the person complies with the orders you are going to tell me the gun wasn't used LOL!
And when the 55 MPH limit was repealed there was an increase in traffic deaths. I guess that was just a coincidence???

I thought I already explained how I was able to "use" my firearm without ever being on my person. now you are just arguing to argue...pathetic.

Not to hijack thread as there seems to be quite the debate going on....
Yes, that would have been the Calgary stampede. I've been on Nose Hill many times, there's nothing there to buy so no reason to carry cash, definitely a camera but nothing else. Would seem weird to have someone try to rob you there. It's a friendly city, but during the stampede, the entire city changes and is extremely outgoing fun place to be. That said, I'd be a bit nervous too if a couple guys approached me in such a way as well, don't think it matters what city you are in, just a bit harsh to think the guy thought he'd be better off with a gun as the 2 guys did not cause any trouble.
Back to topic....

No, you're trying to validate some ridiculous logic by saying if you simply tote your little pea shooter around, or if it's available at any given time, you are using it. I USE my car when I drive it. You USE your gun when you fire it. Just keep twisting it anyway you prefer to try to justify your argument.

You know...you are right. I am sure it was my tattoos that made him think twice.Not the knowledge that I normally carry a gun.

If the local P.O. would arrest all of us who open carry, they'd have to turn the 2 school football fields into detention camps. You can't throw a dead cat(though I'm still unsure why one would) without hitting someone who's packing on their hip. And I have never felt safer. We have a ridiculously low violent crime rate here in Cochise County and it is 100% because of all the people who pack heat. As I've said before, I carry my firearm much less now than I used to because so many people are carrying.
