Renewed CCDW License/Strange Occurrence

I went down to the court house in Louisville this afternoon to renew my concealed carry license. The office that does that has moved to another floor. As I was going up I was also talking to a woman about the heat in the elevator (must have been about 95) and I got off on the wrong floor. Looking around, I saw a desk with a sign that said "Information". The guy behind the desk had a heavy gold chain around his neck and way too much cologne.
I asked him where to go to renew my CCDW license. He stared at me for a long time then said, "Do you really think you need one of those things"?
Anti's are everywhere.

VOTE!

I'd have reported him to his superiors...and made a huge stink about it as high up as it had to go to get him censured or fired.
 
You should've asked him why he thought he needed that gold chain and so much d*mn cologne.
 
I would comlain in writing to his supervisor and his supervisor and whom ever else I could think of.

Did he tell you where the office was?

"Do you really think you need one of those things?"

1) "Yes, because unlike you, I can't find
cologne strong enough to stop bullets."
2) "Well according the the 2nd Amendment, I
don't, but these darned ignorant locals
think I do."

You could complain, but in all fairness, the guy might have genuinely been curious, but then again, I wasn't there and I don't know his tone or demeanor. He could have been considering getting one himself and wanted to hear your reasoning. Maybe he needed a good argument to help convince his spouse he should have one?
 
"Yeah, I need one, otherwise carrying this lock,cocked, and ready to rock .45 (pulling it out of concealment)would be illegal."! Ok so they'd burn you another tail. But...... it would be funny! Oh, how about, " If I didn't have it I'd have to use my assault base ball bat to beat the sh** out of you, you reject from the disco era".... I'm signing off right now, I promised Dennis I'd be a kinder, gentler, SOB! What a Maroon with chains......
 
Gopher:
No, he wasn't just curious. He gave me that smart-ass elitism look.
No, he didn't tell me where to go. However, I told him where to go. His look changed right away. :)

WLM, Like I said, I wasn't there. Generally, I like to go with the idea that people aren't trying to piss me off until they confirm it, so I give them the benefit of the doubt. Just feel good to know that your hard earned, fought and died for 2nd amendment rights are helping to protect his pansy-butt 1st amendment rights. People like that guy are what one of my instructors refered to as "portable bullet blockades." Take full advantage of them should the need arise.
 
This was a chance to say "Yes, I do," and go into a serious and reasoned explanation of the logic of concealed carry. I like a funny response as much as anyone, but a chance to educate is too precious to pass up.

Now, if during that conversation he trots out the old chestnut about CCW holders being a danger to the public because they'll draw every time someone beats them to a parking space, you tell him, "Well, you questioned my judgement and responsibility as soon as you opened your mouth, which is a lot more offensive than grabbing a parking space, and yet, though I am carrying a licensed concealed handgun, I didn't draw and shoot you. Ignorant questions aren't a felony, just a tragedy."

The first thing I tried was a serious and reasoned explination of why I think I need a carry license. I tried to relate the story of my friend who left his .38 Special at home, and was then murdered in front of his new wife by a mean drunk with a hunting knife after an attack while he was on the way to a Florida vacation. Gold Chain wasn't buying any of it. He was of the "all guns are bad ilk" and no reasonable evidence to the contrary was going to convince him. After beating my head against the wall of his ignorance for about 20 minutes, I told him to go to hell. Felt good about it too. Still feel pretty good.

Hey, thanks for trying. It's the best thing we can do, really, changing the world by persuading one mind at a time. Sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes they don't realize the facts until it's too late, when the mugger's knife goes between their ribs.

Oh, well, on to the next heathen, and keep up the good work.
 
Nice work WLM! I personally don't have 20 minutes worth of patience for anyone like that particular ignoramus. A lot of the time there's no point in "preaching to the perverted", and this sounds like precisely that type of encounter. Ya' done good! Take care- Dakotan

Naw, he's going to beat the mugger to death with the gold chains, after he blinds them by using his cologne like OC spray. He's a Mauve Belt in Fashion Kwan Do!

"HEEEEEE-YAH! That belt with those shoes? Oh, puh-leeeze! And those lapels went out the same time as 8-track players! Submit to the makeover, or die!"

:)
