It's just a shirt!

I just stumbled onto this blog and found this post both humorous and pathetic.  Not at the writers expense, of course, but at the fear that is so clearly driven by the media's miscommunication of guns to the public.  Read on, and see for yourself:

A gun image on a t-shirt could be hazardous to a DMV clerk’s health

From a GunGoddess customer, in her own words:

“Ok, from now on you have to put a warning on your Gun Goddess t-shirts because of what happened today while I was wearing mine!  LMAO!  Do you know how dangerous a silk screened gun can be?  Apparently this DMV clerk thought I was gonna rip it off and go gun crazy!

So I know that craziness follows me wherever I go, but at DMV? I had an appt this morning for 9:30 to pick up my personalized plates. So I go, check in and they give me a number. Like a minute later they call my number. I go to the line and the clerk looks up at me and her eyes get REAL wide and she says “I’m sorry but you’re shirt (YES, SHIRT) is making me really nervous and uncomfortable. Would you please leave?” WTF????

I said “No, I will not. I have an appointment and I am here to take care of it” She says again “I am asking you to leave and I can call security to escort you” I said “Call them and while your at it, call your supervisor” The security guy comes up and asks what the problem is and the clerk tells him my Gun Goddess shirt is making her nervous and she would like me escorted off property. Again, WTF???

He says “Ma’am, are you carrying a weapon?” I said “No, I am not (I wasn’t)” and then the supervisor shows up and asks me the same thing. IT’S A PICTURE OF A GUN ON MY SHIRT FOR CHRIST SAKES! The clerk asks the supervisor to complete my transaction as she sits nearby nervously twitching. Supervisor handles it, runs my DL number, assured that I am not a criminal she gives me my plates and I leave. Now my Gun Goddess shirt made her nervous but the woman in the FULL BURKA ahead of me did not? Do you have any idea how much **** you can hide under a burka???? God save me from the idiots at the DMV!

I also told her “I have a shirt that says “Yes, They’re Fake” would you be afraid that my implant might explode?”  She didn’t think that was funny.  LOL”
