Negative Comments for Carrying

Beau · 01-28-2008

Does anyone here catch heat from their family members for carrying?

How do you respond to them?

Have you been able to convince them that carrying for self defense is a legit reason?

my family doesn't know i carry and quite frankly that's information that i alone should be privy to. i feel safe and so do they so everyone is happy. it's a win/win situation.

and before anyone goes on the "education" trip there is no point in educating certain members of my family. it's just like religion and politics; i don't get into those conversations because no one ever sways anyone's opinions.

I've carried since before I became part of my wifes family, and they have known since day one, that the fact was not negotiable. We've not had any discussion of it, or problems because of it in the last 38 years.

You got it wrong ninja. I havn't had any real problems with my family. They all came around pretty quick. I was just wondering if anyone else had problems.

My wife isnt to hip about me carrying. She asked why, I said ask the people killed at the mall or in church. She shut up then.

im going to be a police officer. So my family loves that im carrying now. I have to get used to responsibilty and gun control. but i have a couple buddies who are 18. that in my opinion, should not have there liecense. They are not fit to carry a weapon around. they either
a. have anger issues
b.have teen age retardation still
c. just do it to show off to friends

If your family is giving you slack tune them out like i didnt catch who it was that said that but ya. just tune them out. dont carry around them, if you want to make that decision. and if you want to its your right.

My girlfriend's mother doesn't like it that I carry. She just doesn't know why I have to have a weapon on me. I reply that it is not a weapon but a tool, I am the weapon. Besides I care enough about her daughter to want to protect her. She isn't carrying but she has came around.
