My wife thinks I'm nuts!

[cooljeff]

allright guy's tell me what you think about this, I have the stuff from my garage that I am selling to clean it out AGAIN! I have this stuff posted on here as well as craigslist. I had a guy e-mail me about an electric staple gun from craigslist, we text back and forth after that. eventually we settle to meet right behind my house at the nighborhood wal-mart. for 2 reasons, one I don't trust people I do not know and they will not know where I live, and second I always take a gun ALWAYS!!! even when meeting someone I have dealt with before.

The question comes in with this, do you guy's think it is crazy to take a gun with you to meet someone you don't know and have no idea if these are there true intentions? (I more than likely already know the answer, but)

The wife rolls her eyes at me when she sees me leave with the gun because she thinks I am super paranoid!

ANYONE else have a spouse or relative like this?

For a second I thought I might have posted this in an ambien haze... but I don't have a garage full of stuff.

Yeah that's totally my wife.

I don't think you're crazy at all. Lots of wackos out there and you never really know when, where or how you'll meet one. It's the sad truth that numerous murders are committed in similar situations each year across the country. If you meet someone with bad intentions at least you'll have the ability to put yourself on a level playing field. Remind your wife its not just for your protection but your family's well being too.

Your nuts if you don't take one and much better to meet in public place. I know two different people that have been robbed on a craigslist meeting. Both were low $$$ deals.

Normal.

Better to have it and not need it,
Than to need it and not have it.

You will have it on you, correct?

No Jeff that is not a crazy thing to do, I ALWAYS have a gun on me whenever I meet someone to sell or swap things. But then again, I have a gun on me everywhere and even if I am not meeting someone. The only time I dont have a gun on me or in arms reach is in my bathroom.

Here's a crazy question: why would you leave the house without a gun, regardless of where you're going?
