Couple of years ago wife, boy and I were coming back from CO elk trip. We stopped in Reno to see her doc. She went in while the kid and I sat in the truck. I started it up to keep us warm.
A few minutes later I heard some guy cussing up a storm...MF, CS, etc. So, I stepped out and asked him politely to knock off the foul language while my 4 year old was within earshot. He told me I was a stinky MFer and that he would Effin say whatever the Efff he wanted to.
I finally figured out that he didn't like the smell of diesel smoke, so I told him that he should have said so in the first place without all the foul language where my kid could hear it.
He told me to eff off and raised his shovel over his head and started walking towards me. I pulled my jacket back to reveal my Kimber and told him to stop. He did.
Wifey had just come out of the doctor's office and called the cops. The guys left. Cop took my statement and that was the end of it.
I found out later that he and his son were shoveling snow off the side walk to repay their defense lawyer for something.
Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?
