Many were wearing knives.
At the time I was getting around with a walker. As I approached the door to leave, one of them came over and held the door for me and gave me a pleasant smile. You can't judge entirely on appearance.
Of course in a different situation they were probably capable of very nasty behavior.

That's interesting. And my point of posting this thread was merely to ask about the legality of caring knives like this in Florida and surrounding States like Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
I never said a word to this biker couple and while I was at the Shell Station saw no one else approach them. Certainly very nasty things have been done by very well dressed people. In some situations, however, it probably is very wise to judge a book by its cover and play it carefully as pretty much everyone else that encountered this couple did while at that Shell Station.

I kind of resent the attacks on my character implying I am prejudiced or my parents are prejudiced because I avoided interacting with a biker with a foot long knife in a service station. At a restaurant if a guy or woman holds a door open for me, I would say "Thank You" no matter what he or she looked like.
