guns in the grocery store

Discussing a group of people based on their ethnicity, and commenting how 'they're good people" or "non-violent" or "just like the rest of us" etc. is indeed an unflattering discussion of race. And has no place on a shooting forum.

And digging up this topic after 2+ years? Why?

No one is more opposed to the PC and Cancel Culture (let's call it CC) than I am. No one. I would rather have a Gina Carano action figure on my workbench than five thousand primers and 8 lbs of Varget.
To hell with the action figure . I'd rather have Gina Carano sitting on my loading bench . In the now famous , red outfit . ;):D:D:D:D
 
Sikh males in general have a tough reputation as bodyguards, but look up Indira Ghandi's history for a history-making event involving her, and Sikhs, and her Sikh bodyguards.
 
So we've a small grocery/general store just down the way where I've often checked gun weights in the past. A 17lb Light gun is just kindofa' weird weight, too small for the bathroom scale, too big for the postal scale so I used this guy's meat and produce scales...

Was just in there a half hour ago getting my 10 yr-old his hunting tags and found new owners. Indians. "Sikhs" not "Native Americans"..... the soft-spoken people with huge beards and teeny wives in brilliantly colored dresses type Indians.

"Well" I thunk to myself..... "THIS might change the dynamic!" :)

So I went back to the meat dept and discreetly asked one of the guys what they thought. The kid was like 16 or 10yrs old and he's like "WHAT? You mean bring in a real weapon? In The STORE??" I said "like, yeahhh, I like useta' weight my guns here..."

He's like "KEWL!" .... "yeahh!"...."Like, let me go ask!" (I though "maybe he speaks sikhhh...?")

So he asks....

A few minutes later this huge beard-n-turban with a guy under it slides over and asks "so teell me, v'WHAT iss it chu' vant to do?? Stick a gun in my meat scales???"

"yeahh"

"OOOHHhhhhh, NO PROBLEM!! You... ANY TIME!!"

"Make it eassy! Use the big vegetable scale right out in front!"

"Here! Let me tell my wife OK!" "Hello, this is my wife Serah and she will now know that when you walk in with guns NO PROBLEM! She hold the door for you!! :D "

"You just bring in your guns any time!"

And from then on things went rawther smoothly from good to better...... I assured them that I was very discreet, potty-trained and very clean and would have very nice cases and boxes and........he interrupted........ "Ohh NO!! NO PROBLEM!! Just pring da' guns right in!! NO NEED to cover them up!!"

So anyways. It doesn't look as though I've lost my secret access to certified scales :)

Thats cool, but i got this postal scale for 20 bucks and it works awesome. Its very accurate too when i weigh my calibration weights. Imma get another one for weighing lawn fertilizer too.

Heck, here in SW Idaho where I live, I take guns into the PO to weigh them. The clerks always want to play "Show & Tell".

Sikhs are some of the deadliest troops in the world. I can't remember the name of the other soldiers from Thailand I think, but just as deadly .
