I love being an American

When I left the hotel room this morning, I was surprised to see a young lady, about fifteen or therebouts, standing in the hallway and holding a rifle.

She did not make any threatening gestures, so I was not alarmed.

Then an adult male entered the hall carrying a large gun case. Following him was a boy carrying TWO rifles.

I think they were going hunting, but did not ask.

I rather like living in a country where I can see someone armed to the teeth and not be alarmed. When you feel safe, the chances are that you are safe.

Where else in the world can you encounter a gun-toting stranger and not look for cover?
