You're not paranoid if they really ARE out to get you
When I meet new people (who are
not clients), I am often very circumspect about revealing what I do
for a living. Paranoia on my part? Perhaps, and I sometimes think
that working and corresponding with (and being married to) fellow
gun owners has warped my view of the non-gun owners amongst
us.
Have I adopted an "us vs. them" attitude? Though loathe to admit it, I think I have - at least, the germination of that mindset is definitely underway. My more naive associates sometimes accuse me of being a bit too sensitive, telling me that just because someone chooses not to own a gun for themselves doesn't mean that they think less of me for doing so.
I almost believed them. Until this article in the Seattle PI got printed. This may be the single most sickening such opinion piece I've seen, for it attacks not the article itself - a strategy that has been increasingly ineffective - but the very mindset of the gun owner.
Thanks to the View From North Central Idaho blog for alerting me to this tripe.
