I had to run a few errands today, so I put on my Ron Paul shirt and grabbed my slim jim's and hit the road.
I didn't blanket any areas, I would just stick slim jim's in the doors of 5 or 6 cars before I left. If I saw anyone I'd approach them. My "pickup line" varied, if they were younger people I would say, "Vote for Ron Paul. He wants to end the war and abolish the IRS." If they were older I'd say something like, "He wants to eliminate income taxes and protect our borders."
I only had one negative encounter, but I think they may have been bickering before I got there. Still though, they were looking at the slim jim for a long time afterward. :p
The most shocking thing, however, happened when I went to the big gun shop here in town. There weren't any customers inside. So I approached one of the employees. I handed him the slim jim and gave him my GOA spiel. He was like ,"Hell yeah, that sounds good to me."
I told him that I was just trying to get the word out because he wasn't getting the media coverage some of the others were. Amazingly, this guy had never heard of Ron Paul, and had NO IDEA that he was running for President!:eek The most pro-gun candidate of all, and they hadn't even heard of him!!
All in all, I feel good about my little adventure today. But we've got a lot of ground pounding still to go.
