Pulled into the Principal's office (HR)...

[Magoo541]

...Are you carrying?

Me-Carrying what?
HR-We are all for people owning guns...
Me-Nodding in agreement.
HR-Concealed?
Me-I do.
HR-How about now?
Me-No. 
HR-Well someone thought you might be carrying and our policy is no Firearms on the premises so you can leave it in the car.
Me- Sounds good.


Smh....
Here we go again.

"thought you might be"

And they call us paranoid 

I used to get asked that all the time.  I always responded by parroting the company "no guns" policy.  You would think they would catch on when some days I would say flat out "NO', and others I would quietly parrot the handbook or posting information.

I don't understand hoplophobia, it's an irrational fear after all, but the fact that someone suspects or might even think they saw someone carrying a gun would feel compelled to say something to the powers-that-be, to what end? Are they any more safe? I could make the case that they were less safe.

I must say this was less hostile than my previous trip to HR at my previous job though for the same "suspicion"

I wish I had your problem.

That is the problem to be concerned about. "Someone thought". This is what Hitler did. He had the people squealing on each other to the SS. That is what this country has been reduced to. Anyone who thinks this will not end in bloodshed, and very soon, is badly mistaken.

Just watch what is poised to happen, after the GOP takes the Republican nomination away from Trump. Which is exactly what is going to happen. The last thing people are going to have to worry about is "who is carrying". Because if your not, there is a damn good chance you'll be shot. This whole nation has become a powder keg, with a fuse that will burn until July 18th.

I, unfortunately have to agree.

I, unfortunately have to agree.

This is one of the few situations where I pray that I am wrong. I just don't think I am. But I will rejoice if that is the case, and on January 20, 2017 we are watching the swearing in of President Donald J. Trump.

Bill, this is the result of decades of allowing subversives to control education and the media.
The population has been brainwashed to the point where the only real fix is either revolution or a disaster like the plague, or Spanish flu that kills off half the population.

Yep.

Sadly, I fear anything else is just a tourniquet...it might stem the profuseness of the bleeding for the short term, but does nothing to treat the wound.

I was going to start a new thread, and someone or I may still, about a story I heard on the radio this morning.  I need to find it to read, but the basics are as follows:

A paranoid pansy saw a man carrying a rifle in Walmart;
The paranoid pansy called 911 and reported it;
The police arrived and ordered the man to drop the gun;
The person with the rifle did not comply;
Police shot and killed the man;
The rifle was a BB gun he had picked up from the shelf in the store;
The paranoid pansy is being charged for false report of a crime.
