or another guy walks in holding a shotgun. Most people would be afraid in those situations.

On the other hand, in Wyoming for example, a guy with a sweaty cowboy hat and levis walks in to a store with a gun strapped in a holster on his hip to buy some food. I have no concerns in this situation. Get the idea?
