The AR-15 a Portsmouth councilman wore to a meeting this week stunned two of his peers.

5. One of my co-workers came in to work one day wearing a pistol in a waist holster.

Strutting around and making sure everyone was seeing it.

My buddy, a very smart guy, said, "Hey, what kind of gun is that? Can I see it?'.

The guy was thrilled with the attention, pulled out his weapon, and handed it to my friend.

First thing he did was say "Oops, look. You forgot to engage the safety." and then he put on the safety.

Next he emptied the chamber "Look. You've got a live round in the chamber. That's dangerous as hell."

Then he handed the gun back to the guy and said "You don't know how to handle a gun, do you?"

The guy slunk out to his car and put his toy away.
