      Steve do lve in the U.S.A.? If so, it would probably be normal for such a reaction, as it would in other less trusting parts of the world, where arms are abundant and where arrogance, anger and intollerance are the norm. Thank goodness that there are still many places on the globe where people are welcoming, proud of their traditions and culture, as well as opelny confident to inviting strangers to their homes to display their heritage and customs.
      I hope one day when things get better globally that you can travel and experience something similar, as there is nothing more humbling, and which demonstrates the true nature of mankind than entering a remote village, off the beaten track and being fed by the natives, shown their traditions and accepted like a family member, having never met the people before......it's priceless!!!
