The lady who is minding the country store by herself, had taken the small flag on a pole out of it's outside holder, I suppose due to inclement weather on it's way. She was rushing toward the entrance as I walked toward it. Knowing that a small flag on a flimsy pole is considered a dangerous and deadly weapon in the hands of a Republican I feared for my life. I explained to her that she was holding a dangerous and deadly weapon in the eyes of the federal court in the District of Columbia.
She kind of had a confused look on her face, then I explained the circumstances as she had no idea she was brandishing a weapon. I consider her to be friendly so I did not defend myself.
This story is 100% true and just happened.
