the ' look '

I never pay that much attention to other's opinions if I'm not misbehaving and acting within my rights.

If they don't sign my paycheck, feed me or sleep with me, who cares?
 
I know what you mean. I get the same look when I buy condoms, flex cuff, and duct tape at the same time.

Seriously, I live in New Hampshire and it's a pretty gun friendly state. No looks when I buy gun mags, which I seldom do.

Now that is funny.

As far as the OP goes, I'd guess that they have seen a lot weirder stuff than some guy buying a gun rag.
 
Years ago I bought a six pack of beer and a gun magazine, and the cashier at that store said, "Oh, that's a good combination!"
I said something smart back about reading material and legal beverages, don't remember it exactly, took my purchases and left.
 
I got chewed out by a professor from England for reading Shotgun News before a biology lecture once. Never had any negative feedback otherwise.
 
My only experience is once I purchased a hand-gun magazine in the Piblix, and the couple behind me on the line struck up a coversation about then getting a gun. We actually talked while the ice cream melted.

But then... I live in Florida
 
I was outside the grocery store waiting on my sister reading a gun magazine and this woman about my age, (mid 60's at the time), knocked on my window. I rolled down the windows and she snorted, honest she snorted, I never heard anybody do that before. She points at my magazine and said "I thought you were on of those." I just grinned and rolled my window back up. If looks could have killed I would have been badly wounded at the very least. I know the look and I revel in it. I get it from one of the gal cashiers at Ace Hardware because she knows I have guns. Duh, I live in the woods and this is small game and deer country. I hope I give her heartburn.
 
Anyone else experience this before?

Not really, but then again, I don't look for reasons to feel persecuted. If I got all worked up every time some stranger gave me a weird look, I'd probably have had a coronary by now.
 
The UPS guy that dropped off my order from cheaper than dirt asked "these bullets? I can always tell because they're heavy".
 
I was at the gas station before coming to work and, along with several other items, picked up a gun magazine and took it to the counter to pay.

My initial thought was: what on earth were you thinking when you approached a gas station clerk with a loaded magazine in your hand!:eek:

I had to read it several times and then realized that you were talking about the paper kind of magazines, not the gun part.:o

It's been awhile since I purchased a gun magazine, but I don't recall ever getting the look. I know the look, though, every now and then I'll get one if I'm in the same social circle as an anti-gunner and I happen to mention something about guns.
 
Walk, that was in 1992, I had no choice - no internet to speak of then.
Grump, that's funny.

I hate paying full retail, for mags that's why I get a subcription at huge savings, and I save on gas too.
 
Sure, I've had a "look" before.

But really - I don't think the look makes sense.

Why would the store have a gun magazine in-stock if they want to give you "the look??"

I don't worry about that look. It's more-than-compensated for by the look that I get from the cute cashier at the sporting goods store, anyway.....

In all fairness, I would have said the same thing. But in complete sincerity.
 
Lately, if I buy a gun rag at the store - the clerks ask me advice about guns.

When, I bought 5 copies of a Gun World magazine, the nice middle aged lady - said: OH, are you in it?

And I was! :D
 
Checkmyswag, My UPS guy said exactly the same thing yeserday! "This must be 'bullets', I can tell 'cause its heavy!".
