I think this thing goes a lot deeper than whether or not you should continue to carry a gun. Obviously that is the apparent focus of the problem, but is it really the problem? I think you need to think long and hard about several questions.
First, why do you carry a gun? Do you really believe that you might need it someday, or are you just carrying it as the thing to do?
Second, and only after you have answered the first to your own satisfaction, is the approval of the people you name as friends more important to you than a particular custom you have adopted - i,e, carrying the gun. You need to ask yourself if these people are really your friends. I do not know, and no one else here knows either. You may not know yourself until you do some real thinking about it. Why do you hang out with them? Do you have common interests beyond the bikes, or is it something convenient to do? Would these people come to your rescue in a time of need? And by that I don't just mean if someone is robbing you. If you were hurt, in trouble, would they be there for you?
What about this woman? Apparently she is not as friendly as you thought. Is she really a friend? Is her companionship more important to you than carrying your gun to protect your life - if indeed that is why you carry it? As far as the dating thing goes, I am like Doc2005. I have been married for 23 years, and have been out of the dating scene for a looonng time. But I can tell you right now, if you are not dating women who share similar beliefs on the important things in life, you are going to be unhappy with your choices in women. Period. Is it worth it? Too many people get married today based on physical attraction or infatuation. They have a couple of children, lose the feeling, get divorced, and then there is another new crop of poorly adjusted kids growing up without the benefit of a two parent family. Don't make that mistake for yourself or for any children you might have.
So it all comes back to, why do you carry a gun, and is it more important to you or less important to you than the people with whom you now associate?
I would say good luck with your decision, but truth be told, I don't really believe in luck.
