Bought my Robo-War from a recently widowed elderly woman. The game was her husband’s.

I politely asked her if I could bring a friend over to help me load it, as she seemed sort wary of even letting a strange man into her house, let alone two.

After my friend and I loaded the game, I thanked her again for letting me bring my buddy along. She said “ohh, I was never really worried about that.” She then patted her hip, and pulled out a massive concealed gun.

I skedattled on outta there at light speed.

Gun culture is crazy different down here in these parts of the country! It totally caught me off guard!

For sure! Not to derail, but when I lived in Montana, firearms were everywhere. You'd see them strapped to hips of tons of folks. I never really thought twice about it since it was completely normalized there. But over here on the coast where it's not even remotely close to being normalized, it was just not something I even expected to see from an elderly woman in a busy suburban New Jersey town!
