Just had to vent about an experience I had yesterday.
I went to my bank to get a money order for my fingerprint fee since I need a duplicate firearms ID card since I moved. ( I know that I should not need to get printed again, but since many pd's like to make up their own rules it is not worth arguing with my local pd over this and potentially causing issues or tension)
While I was getting the money order the cashier noticed the paper from the police dept that had the fees listed and probed as to what the money order was for and if I had gotten in trouble for tickets or something similar. I found this odd and slightly insulting so I explained that it was for a fingerprint fee for a firearms ID card. I should have kept my mouth shut- as soon as I said this one of the other tellers proceeded to act very dramatic and started saying that she was very scared ( the teller I was with joined in) and that she hated "those things" and that people "like me" scared her. Then they started asking if I had a gun on me??????????
My responce was - " no- and ignporant people like you scare me."
As you can tell I am still fuming about this today. I though of going back and talking to the branch manager but I doubt it will help, I am still considering it though.
I am just fed up with guns and gun owners being demonized.
Sorry for the rant but I just wanted to get this off my chest
