I finally bought a weapon. Amid the chaos of this country, I felt I needed to be more prepared.

I went over to the local Bass Pro Shop to get a 9mm handgun for home/personal protection.

When I was ready to pay for the pistol and ammo, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."

Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control wackos running amok, I did just as the clerk had instructed.

When the shrieking screams and alarms finally subsided, I found out she was referring to how I should place my credit card in the card reader!

As an educated citizen, I do not get flustered often, but this time it took me a while to get my pants back on.

I've been asked to shop elsewhere in the future, banned from entering Bass Pro ever again.

They need to make their instructions to consumers a little more clear.

I still don't think I looked that bad! Just need to make a mental note to wear underwear more often...

Life.....can it get any more complicated?
