It’s not every day that you see someone in your neighborhood carrying a suspicious weapon.

The following story involves a man who was doing his usual morning walk around the neighborhood.

He then spotted a resident carrying what appeared to be a small rifle outside their home.

Unsure whether it was a real firearm, a BB gun, or something harmless, he wondered if there could be something criminal happening.

Morning Walk and Neighbor Pulls Up with Gun

The other morning, I was taking my morning walk.

I have done this for 4 to 5 years and passed the same homes.

One of the homes I pass in my upscale neighborhood is clearly dilapidated and reeks of marijuana.

At one point, I think there was a kid and a mom there, too.

I don’t know the people that live there, and they don’t know me.

This man saw a car pull in front of the house, and the person who got off was carrying a rifle.

I’ve seen one of the residents come home early in the morning, being driven by someone they appear to know and are friendly with.

This past weekday, something similar occurred.

A car pulls up, and the resident pops out of the passenger seat in front.

He gets out with a grocery store bag full of chip bags in one hand and what is clearly a small rifle.

I’m not sure, but it could have been a BB gun. He was trying to hide it under something.

He started thinking about the possible reasons why someone would be carrying gun early in the morning.

Long story short, I am not about to ask the guy why he has a gun in the early morning with no one around.

Maybe because it’s none of my business.

What possible reason would someone show up early in the morning with a rifle?

But what would you do? Is something criminal going on?

Yikes! That honestly sounds strange and scary!

I understand why OP felt uneasy seeing someone carrying what appeared to be a rifle.

But at the same time, there is not enough information from the encounter alone to know whether anything criminal was happening.

I guess maybe he should continue doing what he does but also be more aware of what his neighbors are up to.

What do you think? Let’s find out what others have to say about this.

This one shares their personal thoughts.

Short and straightforward.
