Here's Your Sign

[LANCER1562]

I work in the Public Safety field as a security officer patrolling low-income housing developments and as such am required to be armed. I've been doing this for close to 25 years now and have lost count of the number of times I've been asked if my gun is real or if it is loaded.

To the question of "Is your gun real?" I usually respond "Nope. It's a fashion accessory".

Quetion: "Is your gun loaded?"
Answer: "Nope. They make keep me only one bullet in my shirt pocket and only load it in the gun in an emergency."
Like Barney Fife of "The Andy Griffith Show" fame.

Here's your sign.

These questions mind you, are almost always from adults, not young children who really don't know about such things.
