All of sudden I notice this figure in a full black gown with a hood about 300 feet away walking toward me. At first I thought it was a Halloween costume or someone playing a joke but the closer it got the more leery I became to the point that I stepped off the walk path onto the grass area drew and chambered my firearm. (Keep in mind I had now idea who or what was under this gown so what fuckin good is a holstered S & W if this person is up to no good) I guess the person who turned out be a Muslim woman spotted the gun because just before she reached me she made a sharp right across the grass screaming like a lunatic. I continued my walk even stood a few minutes extra figuring the cops would be coming and I was curious what they would do but they didn’t come.

My point is do we really have to live under these conditions? When I was growing up only robbers thief’s and the Lone Ranger wore masks. Furthermore I don’t even know if what I did is considered legal (I have a carry permit) or if I would have faced charges or a law suit for scarring this so called person.

I also feel it should be against the law to walk in public with your face covered; It’s a recipe for crime; this is the USA not Iran, Syria Pakistan or any other Muslim country. You want to live under Muslim tradition go live in a Muslim country.
Yes this is the USA and not Iran. Here she has the freedom to choose wether to wear or not to wear her religious attire. I'm sure people out there don't believe you should be carrying a weapon around at night, but you're free to.
