Yesterday I had to go to the auto parts store to exchange a set of brake drums. Seems there are two different drums that carry the same part number. 
So while I'm trying to get this sorted out a fellow comes in from the parking lot and asks if anyone has a knife so he can cut a hose. I've been carrying a Piranha Predator since July 1st and reached in my pocket and pulled it out. Since I've seen so many inexperienced people drop autos when they opened them and I didn't want my blade skating across the parking lot or sticking in his foot, I snapped it open and handed it to him, handle first. He went outside and in a couple minutes returned it (closed), thanked me and left. Now that story isn't particularly interesting but what surprised me is the fact that no one said a word or even raised an eyebrow. The girl behind the counter, the rest of the employees, the customers, and the guy who used it just went about their business as if I had handed him a Stanley knife. I don't know if word has gotten around that well or if it's just that no one gave a $h**. I'm not complaining mind you, that's the way it should be. Gotta love the new law. I wonder.....has anyone had a similar experience?
