Seems I'm constantly reminded how wrong my first impressions of people can be. Not disputing that there are real scum bags walking this earth, but when approaching a stranger on my land or in my driveway (at the end of a gravel road) I prefer to have my gun concealed. Its there if I need it, but not there if I don't.
Case in point, a couple weekends ago, while we were away, my BIL and a freind were cutting some firewood on my property and got confronted by my neighbor who didn't recognise them. Unfortunately, my well intensioned neighbor felt he had to display his handgun - before any introductions were made! It resulted in some very tense moments for my buddies.
His first impression was wrong. He overplayed and ended up looking like a jerk.
