I started out today by hitting the ATM at the Speedy Gas in front of my neighborhood. From there it was off to A.C. Moore on Kirkwood Hwy. Then to the Purebread Deli next to Goldey Beacom college for lunch. After I was there for about a half hour reading the paper after my meal, a couple that was leaving came up to me. The woman leaned in close and asked me if I was a police officer. I told her that I was not. She asked "So you're just carrying a gun?" "Yes ma'am, thats correct." "Oh, so you have a permit?" "No ma'am, none is required in the State of Delaware; except Dover, to carry openly. For me to carry my sidearm concealed I would need a permit." "Oh, I didn't know that" she replied. While she was surprised at my answers, she never became alarmed. She was quite charming and I would talked to her for as long as she wanted except her husband was anxious to leave. Lunch finished, I headed to Zingo's grocery store to pick up a few things. All told, a great outing with no negatives!
