Default Re: Do you carry a knife?

I was trap shooting ontop of the mountain up above where I worked. I was actually with an older gentleman.

Someone saw me walking to work that day and I was dressed all in black with a big black overcoat and a ski mask because it was like 15*F outside. Had a gun case slung over my shoulder.

I guess some lady called me in as an Al Queda, so they got all crazy about it.
The newspaper story on the event even mentioned that she referred to me over the 911 phone call as a "black clad ninja monkey", which I didnt live down for a long time. People were calling me "ninja monkey" for months after that.

As for the knives. I dunno. I used to carry quite a few. When the cop asked me why I said they were "box cutters, because there are big boxes, little boxes and boxes of all sizes in between" which they laughed at, but let it go at that.
One clipped in each pocket, one in each boot, a triple set of throwers on my belt. I was putting them all on the hood of the one sherriff car and they were all going "wtf!"....
