What gun did ya carry to Thanksgiving dinner? ;D
I carried my GLOCK 30 (Because I haven't been able to carry it in a while.) and my new S&W 649 (The gun that LIVES in the front pocket. Ok, ok. I also wanted to show it to the family.....). Most of my family either Liking guns themselves, or having good enough sense to know that they're good things to have around for defense, I showed off the 649 to those who weren't squeamish at the sight of guns (Which means pretty much all of them but 1.). They all liked it. My aunt has an old Ladysmith .38 that my uncle showed me (They were hosting so it was in the house but not on either of their person.), and said he wants grips like what I have on mine for it, so it'd be more comfortable to shoot. I told him since I'm gonna get lasergrips for it anyway, when I get them I'll just give him the grips off of it. My cousin in law got his CHL in the mail last week, and showed me the knife pouch he carries his spare mag for his Kahr 9MM (A steel framed one, not Polymer.) in. A $6 folding knife pouch from Bass Pro Shops. He also showed me the new pistol safe he mounted in his truck.
I love gettin together with my family. ;D
When dad and I were leaving home to go to my aunt and uncle's house I checked my pocket and noticed I forgot my wallet. I told my dad "I almost forgot my ID and Concealed Handgun License." He said "Well, I'm SURE you'll need THOSE!" I told him "I will if I have to shoot somebody." and he said "You think you'll have to shoot somebody At Thanksgiving Dinner?" I said "You don't know when you're gonna have to shoot somebody. That's the whole point of carrying the thing."
It was a good turkey day, and the Cowboys even won. (Thanksgiving is the only time I even care.....)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The other stuff I carried, just not to the dinner table. I inherited my Grandpa's 32 Winchester Rifle, So I talked mom into taking a couple pics with it. I also had a Bowie, Vaquiro, and a Cobra Derringer.

Given that guns and alchohol don't mix, I carried a glass(es) of champagne and really nice chardonnay, plus a satisfied smile. ;D

Is it just me,...or, based on a rough thread estimate, right after saying the Thanksgiving Blessing, we enjoyed our meal with family and friends, and were either literally carrying, or had one within reach...
Kinda makes you feel all warm inside.... ;)
God Bless America.

You are not wrong TW. What amuses the hell out of/depresses me is what the reaction to this thead would be if it were published verbatim in the English press. Can you just imagine the letters o the editor, the editorial outrage? Its sad its come to this, but it has. Rights, like muscles, atophy if not exercized. The Brits have let theirs rot, while we can be assured of ours, as we are all strapped at the family gathering. ;D
FQ13 who chose to drink wine rather than carry, but the shotgun was just down the hall if someone kicked in the door. F-ck them if they don't like it. Without folks like us they would have no rights at all. ;)

Never mind the Brit Press. What would be the reaction if the question was asked as a letter to the Editor of your local paper ?
