As far as I've always known they are off limits, maybe not at every store, but believed it to be corporate policy.

Not so strange. Out of all my co-workers, people I went to school with and colleuges, I'm the only one of 3 people that I know in the community I work in that owns a firearm (My little sister and another local actor are the other two). Didn't do anything anyone else on here would've done, but the only difference is that most in the arts have never seen a real gun in person. In some ways I'm as much an oddity in the arts community as..well..I am here 
When it comes to the average population, there is a VERY small percentage who have never seen a gun at all. Some of us may forget that, while many of us grew up with firearms as a tool in our daily lives, 95 percent of the population only see them in the movies or in the hands of gang bangers on an episode of "COPS".
The biggest change in things was when I posted shooting vids on my myspace profile and I litteraly had about a third of my blog subscribers delete themselves and got QUITE a few posts about the "Vile" and "Violent" act I had done. Remember that they were just range vids, and I STILL get emails from some who are even shocked that someone who's worked in Children's theater would even DARE own a gun (their words!).
It's hard to remember what the rest of the world sees when we see things from our own perspective. I personally consider those who are shocked and think that owning a gun is akin to a criminal act are more narrow minded than the "evil conservatives" they revile themselves.

Neo: I know the area well, as I used to delivere Truck parts from a near by truck parts business. Yeah, I noticed alot of "businesses" starting up on that section of Grand, from Van B up to 19th ave. And I admire you for carrying, as you know what kind of area that is.
As far as the numbnuts making comments and deleting thier links to you over what you do, They are fools. Nothing more, perhaps something less.
Get back down here so we can go shooting again

On a funny note: When me and a few of my friends were down on Fat Cat's lounge about a year and a half ago over on Grand Ave, some of the guys went to the Churches Chicken to get some food and were caught in the middle of a couple of guys getting into it over a drug deal gone bad. It was a funny story when they got back to the bar. But, when we got ready to ride home we saw the police at the Chicken joint as we passed putting two bodies in mourge bags. Come to find out the next day on the news that one shot the other guy 6 times, and the cops ended up tazering the shooter to death :shock:
I'm glad I wasn't the one sent out for chicken.
