While we were on our way down to Georgia a couple of weeks ago, we stopped at a Wendy's for lunch and I noticed there were two men in there who were carrying concealed weapons. They were not together -- one was a construction worker with a 9mm Glock on his belt, and the other was a young man who was also carrying a 9mm Glock on his belt.
Interestingly enough, no one in the restaurant raised a fuss or said anything about them, pointed them out to the management or anything else. These two were not calling attention to themselves; they were just eating their lunches. And I only noticed them because I notice things like that and they weren't that well concealed.
Georgia is an open carry/concealed carry state, so I guess that if I had stayed there for a while I would have seen others come and go who were also carrying a weapon.
My point is, this must be an accepted way of life in Georgia, everyone knows it, and they don't pay any attention to those who carry or raise a fuss because they are sitting next to them in a public fast-food establishment.
Nothing else. Just an observation.
Benjamin Franklin once said of the right to bear arms by the citizenry of this country:
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Hooah
P.S. Yes, I am.
