I've gotten a few questions from readers wondering if I ran into any problems with protesters in Nashville.
No, not at all. I figured there was a very good possibility that there would be some problems so I took an AR shorty with 10 magazines as well as my 45. While I sure didn't want any problems, if we got held up by a mob and they attacked my truck with my wife in it, I was going to make it newsworthy for them.
But we didn't run into any problems or hostility whatsoever. It was a smooth trip down there and back both times.
When we got to the hospital that first day, they would only let 2 people per patient into the hospital at a time, so I let Lisa and her youngest son go in while I parked my ass on a bench right outside the entry way with my book for 5 solid fucking hours. During that time, every single youngster and black person that passed by me had a smile and pleasant greeting for me. Matter of fact, several of them shared my bench with me and we had some delightful conversations. If it wasn't for the circumstances of me being there, it would've been a very enjoyable day.
