This was one of those moments when I wish like HELL that I was video taping!
Just a quick funny story for all of you.
I had just finished up my Blogs for the day and was getting ready to begin work on my next novel when there is a knock on my door.
I head to the front door and look out seeing a pencil thin young man with a clipboard in hand. Nothing unusual so far, as this happens every now and then in suburbia. Usually it’s people wanting to get new customers for cable tv, lawn care, etc…
I open the door and greet the stranger. In a weasley voice, he states that he is from one of the local colleges and they are getting signatures on a petition to have the “Castle Law” repealed. (For those of you who don’t know, the castle law is the law that says a homeowner can use lethal force on their property if there is a threat of life or limb. Basically.)
I snicker at the kid and have to bite my tongue. I let him go on his little rant about how guns are evil and that criminals have the right to live…blah…blah…blah…
The whole time I am standing there thinking to myself, “…this kid has NO CLUE as to who’s door he just knocked on….”
I glance at the clip board and the kid actually had quite a few signatures on there. I look for an ID badge and don’t see any that are visible. He finishes his rambling and I politely decline to sign.
Snowflake- “…Sir, you understand that this is a serious matter and that if this law doesn’t get repealed lives will be lost?”
Me- “I understand that if it DOES get repealed, that lives will most CERTAINLY be lost.”
Snowflake- “Oh, I take it your ‘Pro-Gun’?”
Me- pointing to the NRA sticker on my front door window, “..that didn’t give it away?”
Snowflake- in disgust, “well thank you for your time, maybe someday you’ll wake up and realize that guns are evil!”
Me- still kind of laughing, “you do realize that you just knocked on the front door of one of the senior bloggers for one of the biggest tactical and firearm websites in the country right?”
Snowflake- runs away (literally) almost tripping down my steps.
Me- “Was it something I said?”
Good thing he didn’t trip. Little punk would have probably sued. Precious little snowflake.
