Going to Crusader Rabbits for dinner.  I don't think he'd let me in if I was unarmed.  ;)

UHHHHH, that doesn't sound quite the way I mean it.  ;D

Spending a quite day with my wife and MIL so there is no need to be armed but a number will be close at hand should unwelcome individuals decide to drop in!

That's what's at my table.   Alcohol, Turkey and Firearms.   We may even use great-great-grandad's old sxs as a center piece.

Traveling across state lines to my sister's. Thanksgiving for reciprocity. I carry every place it is legal.

Does the Rem. 870 leaning against the wall in the corner of the dining room count?  ::)  I usually eat so much I don't carry, so I can keep my belt loose, and wine flowing...

Mmmmmmmm, oyster dressing...... ;D

If I were visiting a state that recognizes my Utah CCW, then sure.I'm only going a mile down the road and my sister-in-law wouldn't think it's as cool as my wife does. Maybe my brother will loan me our grandpa's old WWII Colt 1911.

Happy Turkey Day - you turkeys! ;)

WE're going to the wife's folks on Thursday, so I'll open-carry just to piss off the old liberals.  On Sunday my family is coming to our house.  I BETTER be carrying, cuz I'm about 117% certain that the 14 and 10 year old will be dragging my ass to the range.   ;D

  Back under your bridge evil creature, before I sick my Billy goats on you

More than likely it was an accident, when I voted it would not accept "Hell yes it's a rule in my house".
So I voted "you've never met my relatives" which also works.
I WILL get that last biscuit this year dammit !   ;D

I'll be at my Grandparents so I won't have it on me, but it will def. be in the car.  Not only for self defense but also in case i get an alarm call from work. Gotta love being on call all day everyday.  :-\

Well banone185, enjoy your Grandparents Thanksgiving, (usually that's the best food hands down), and hoping you don't get a call.

Welcome to DRTV, have a safe and great Thanksgiving.

Hell, I'm packing right now.....so T-Day dinner won't be any different. Everyone in my family is used to it anyway.
The only time I don't have it on me is when I'm asleep (and it's within reach then) or in a place the law says I can't have it.
I'll be without all day tomorrow while frying the four turkeys for the FFA ag classes at the high school.

If we were going to stay home it would be no, but we are going to make three different stops.... so it's YES.

Nope, I'm going to my wife's brother's place.  He is a Deputy Sheriff and a part of the county SWAT team  I'll let him provide the guns if needed.  Also, there will be two nephews there who are cops too.  They usually have a BUG with them.

Your lucky, My ex mother in law hated me so much, if she'd had the connections she would have put a hit on me  ;D
That's why I carried a 1911 at my wedding. I told my Dad if she touched the knife for the wedding cake I was dropping her  ;D

Ain't that the truth?  Anytime I start feeling sorry for myself I watch "Extreme Home Makeover".....makes me realize how good I have it!!

I figured it was because the .357 clashed with your tux.   ;D

My family pretty well knows when I'm wearing pants I'm wearing a gun, or 2........ Where legal of course......

No, the 357 was stainless and this was a formal affair so it was the Black 1911  to go with my jacket   ;D

Haz is coming over to slide some bird down his neck.  If he wasn't armed I would fear an imposter had taken his place and I might be forced to retrieve my weapon of choice from beneath my shirt and blast away at the zombie on my doorstep.  That would prob'ly ruin T-day for all the dinner guests.  Besides, we have a tradition of comparing any newly acquired weaponry over dinner.  If he didn't bring something, that wouldn't be very "guest-like" now would it?
