So I stumbled into a conversation about where it is and is not permissible to carry a concealed weapon today. Sample exchange:
A, "You can't carry in any government buildings... or schools... or anyplace they serve alcohol."
B, "So I can't carry it to the movies?"
A, "er... no. I mean yes. They don't serve alcohol at the movies."
C, "Dude, you're starting to scare me. [with all your talk of carrying a gun]"
A, "Dude. You can't carry here [at work]."
B, "Yeah, but I could keep it in my car until C gets off work and then be like, 'Dude, wanna go see a movie?'"
A,(and me, simultaneously) "No."
A, "Can't have it in your car here, either."
At this point I was done using the nuke box and made my exit before my IQ drained any more. Kudos to A for trying to educate B, I knew he was an idiot when we interviewed him.
So, while I ate my lunch, I read the RCW's on firearms. Yeah, I'm that much of a nerd, so?
I found that those things "commonly known as 'nun-chuk-as' are not legal to carry on school property.
And that you and I cannot carry a weapon into AppleBee's, but the nitwit who brings you your Tequila Sunrise can. Think about that the next time you think you want to complain that your "steak" is cooked like horse meat... er, incorrectly.
The next time I saw A, I told him this and he says, "Yeah", like I'm an idiot for not knowing.
So I tried another guy. He knew, too.
Eventually one guy said, "Nope, didn't know that. Did you know that kids eat for free on Sunday's at Hooters?"
The point is: I'm never going to AppleBee's again. Do you have any idea how dangerous a gun is in the hands of an idiot? Even a college educated, millionaire one?
Meet me at Hooters for wings and boobs on Sunday? I mean, really, where are they going to conceal a pistol that I won't notice it? Oh, right. On the manager.

Am I the only person who didn't know?
