accidently outed myself

[sj kahr k40]

I accidently flashed my gun at my father-in-law tonight, I was carrying in a IWB but I'm pretty sure he saw it.

Did the Flashing go anything like this?

 

[JetGirl]

I'm pretty sure he saw it.

Why?
Some kind of look? Some kind of comment?
Did he start keeping his hands where you could see them at all times?
Did he start being super nice to you all of the sudden?
Details! Details! This requires details!

i agree Annie! i'm guessing your FIL is anit-gun or at least not comfy with you carrying at his home. has this been addressed in the past or possibly an issue?

 

[haldir]

Yeah, you aren't giving us much info. Do you expect problems? Maybe it was saying "I'm gonna put a cap in your arse" when you flashed it that got his attention :-)

So?

 

[J4Me]

Cool, now you might as well OC!!!!

 

[sj kahr k40]

I not to concerned about it, all my in-laws know I have firearms and don't ever say anything about it, I know that my wife saw it cause she gave me a look and he was right next to her, he didin't say anything but I could tell by his expression that he saw it. My FIL and MIL are not anti-gun so I don't think this will have any affect on our relationship.

[Josh Ward]

Huh??? Heck my inlaws get concerned when they DON'T see a gun on me .... LOL

 

[Bubba]

good story.

 

[drbarnes]

why would you be concerned with your family knowing? especially if they are not anti gun

 

[sj kahr k40]

I not sure if they are pro-gun or not. My wife has a very close relationship with her family and I don't want to do anything to change that. Like I said I'm not real concerned about her parents knowing, I almost always carry a pocket pistol when we are around them. My real concern is him bringing it up around some of her other relatives that are very anti-gun, hopefully that won't happen.

drbarnes, my family knows and don't like it at all, I try to spend a little time as possible around them. My family is very anti-gun, anti-common sense.

 

[evansvillethompsongunner]

Yeah, this is a good story.

So how was everyone's day today?

Honestly, the other family members finding out and blowing you about it could be the best thing to come from this flashdance.

Just be sure you are prepared to educate, bringing light with as little heat as possible

"Accidently outed myself"

I almost didn't open this thread!

If it did not bring a negative reaction in his own house, what makes you think he would bring it up elsewhere?

When my mother first realized I was carrying, (some 20 years ago), she was NOT happy about it. She constantly asked me about it.
She may not have complained, but I knew her sentiments.

She went from that, to, when she would hug me and feel my pistol, she would re-arrange her grip on me, so as to avoid my sidearm, and say nothing.

These days, she sights current events that remind her of why I do carry, and tends to agree.

I work construction, for myself. Most of my customers know I carry in their homes while I work. My brother/partner carries as well. It's no secret. I wear NRA logo'd clothing most everyday (Patron-Life member, and PROUD of it), and both of my vehicles are just PLASTERED with gun bumper stickers.

I don't find this an issue much anymore. I have a Lifetime LTCH, I exercise my 2nd Amendment rights EVERYDAY.

I feel if someone has a problem with my carrying a firearm, that's their problem, not mine!

BTW- I do carry concealed as a rule.
