This is awesome.

I really have to wonder. It's been years since the folks of Grafton have had interactions with Free Staters who are openly so. I think it's very likely that because we've not done much to shift the image of Free Stater from Zack Bass to all of the personalities, community members and neighbors that we actually are we're still contending with our own shadows.

I'm pretty vocal about being a Free Stater, and if people have a problem with that in the community none of them are telling me that to my face. The ones who do say something are the ones who are excited to see one of us open carry, learn a little about their rights and then take a post-it note with instructions on coming out to shoot with us.
