Last week we discussed on this forum whether or not each of us would be carrying at the Thanksgiving dinner table. I elected to carry, much to the chagrin of my mother-in-law. Here's what happened:
It was a lovely celebration, Kathy and I traveled to her dad and step-mother's in a little town about 70 miles from here. We very much enjoyed the company and conversation with her parents, as well as my mother-in-law's 85 year old brother-in-law and his "girlfriend". The food was delicious, the conversation pleasant, in short, it was a blissful day...............................until Kathy and I prepared to leave for home. I had dressed for the ocassion in jeans and a baggy sweatshirt, and had my Kel-Tec P-11 9mm in an IWB at about 4 o'clock on my right side. When my mother-in-law moved to give me a hug goodbye, you guessed it, she got a left hand full of gun. She said nothing, but did not seem amused. Time will tell if we're invited back for Christmas. ;D

At least when I got outted by a grope it was a cutie ;)

I went to my brother's for Thanksgiving. He is just getting into handguns and recently bought a Glock so I took a couple of other polymer guns for him to try. We went out to the range before lunch and I showed him my Kimber Pro Carry while out there. I carry IWB at 3-4 o'clock. When I was leaving (the last one to go) it went something like this:
Bro: "Lift the right side of you shirt for a second."
So I do.
SIL: "Oh, my God!"
A 1911 in condition one does tend to freak people out.
Bro: "See. Concealed means just that. He has been here all day and you never noticed."
We'll have to see if I get invited back.

I feel your pain. I'm just hoping my escapade doesn't get me removed from the will. ;D

Sorry for you guys......my family members on both sides would feel uneasy if I DIDN'T have a gun on.

my in-laws live in... California.
yep, probably would call the cops if they saw me with a gun, licence or not.
think im a good for nothing farm boy, said their daughter should marry a lawyer. Good thing she had daddy issues ;D (that one's gonna bite me in the ass)

It happened to me one time when I was wearing a my shoulder holster. I was with a friend and his AA sponsor when the sponsor went to nudge me with his elbow at the dinner table as he was telling a joke. He was one of those uptight AA "my life is so great now" type guys and wasnt too happy his sponsee would hang out with someone who carried a gun. After all his sponsee is trying to do the "right thing."

Throw it right back at them,
" Oh, My, are you carrying a GUN ?"
"Well yeah, aren't you ? Or do you expect everyone else to protect your irresponsible hide ?"

Since I started carrying several years ago that is what I said from day one. The day I don't carry is the day you should be concerned.
