Let me tell you a little story. This will just go to show you how ridiculous this world has become. I'll be very general in case a certain reader is still reading this blog.
A couple of months ago, I got into some trouble for some comments I made at work. They were in jest and everyone knew this......well, almost everyone. So this all went to the Corporate machine. Long story short, HR was here the following week doing a campfire while we all held hands and sang Kumbaya.
Wait, it gets way better. This corporate HR lady comes up to me later and wants to search my vehicle because it has been reported that I was packing heat on company property. I know, I was livid. I told her I know she had ZERO rights, by law, to search my vehicle, and furthermore, that it is legal in this state for me to carry, even without a permit. She went on to tell me that the law stopped when I crossed company property. BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! Anyway, she didn't find anything, I still have a job, and I've lost even MORE faith in people as a whole. She then wanted to know about the extremeist website that I was posting on! I know, I couldn't believe it! Extremeist?! Man I've been pretty mellow, I thought. She said she heard that I said in my blog that I had a piece in the car, that part of the reason she had to search it. What a crock! I'm telling you, this world is nothing but a giant powderpuff game.
Needless to say, my spirits were a bit rattled, but not broken. After much thought, I have decided to continue in my blogging, but I will have to make some changes. I guess there are certain subjects in which my passion flows deep that I may have to steer clear of for now. As for TV, celebrity, and sports items? Still fair game!
I will do the best I can to continue in our endeavor to bring the world joy by the power of the blog! I have a dream!......That we can all.......oh forget it, lighten up A-holes!

Can I get a harumph?!?! We're behind you and The Man will never become bigger than the blog!!! Plus, I had no idea I was an extremeist. I guess I had better rethink my thoughts on the Chiefs' offseason...
I heard the full version of this story today. Ridiculous. This guy sounds like a real douche. Maybe we all need code names.
Yes, I agree.....I think think I want my new name to be "Big Shaky"
Matt,
Continue to carry. It is your right. No one can stop you from carrying, they can only ask you to leave, but if the item in question is truly concealed how will they ever know. As far as searching your vehicle, I would demand a warrant and my attorney present during the search, and then ask what probable cause that they had to search. If a co-worker says that they heard you say you had a certain item in your vehicle and that was the excuse that they were going to use, you could state that you overhead and employee say they had drugs/bodies/porn, any number of items (let the games begin)and you could demand that there vehicle be searched also.
