My carry weapon was outed tonight

romeo - I totally agree. She has a right to ask you not to bring a gun in her house and you have a right to not go back.
 
We are on speaking terms in fact she bought my wife and my dinner tonight. To pacify everyone we have decided to hold our bible studies at the church on wednesday nights and nothing has been said about it since. I still will respect her wishes to not carry in her house by not going to her house, because I always carry unless legally forbidden to do so. As far as someone making my wife uncomfortable, depends on the issue. If it was something like this I would have no problem with the person asking my wife what makes her uncomfortable about it to try to ease her discomfort about the issue. Once she restated her discomfort I would expect the person to leave or to resolve the issue whatever it is. If she were not comfotable with someone because they were being a creep, that is a different story and hardly fits into this situation. As soon as I knew she was uncomfortable with the issue and realized that would not change even with my explaining it was perfectly legal and the amount of training I had I left. Some on here are blowing things way out of proportion. I do not pretend to be the national spokesperson for the RKBA cause. I do however consider myself to be an asset to it, and not a hinderance as some have suggested on here.
 
I knew there were some in any place but I have never seen anything like this. I thought we were all on the same side here but I have been berated by several members on here. I am starting to realize that we may well be our own undoing.
 
romeo212000 - in defense of some of responses, perhaps your original posting wasn't worded in a way that fully described the whole situation.

If I was in your friend's shoes and a friend was at my house and I saw that he/she had a concealed weapon, I would ask them to remove it/lock it in my safe/put it in their car. If they began to explain that they had a permit, ask why I was uncomfortable, and give me a borderline lecture on inanimate objects, I would then tell them to leave immediately. My house - I don't have to justify my rules.

Now considering I have more guns than the local National Guard armory, you might find this strange. However, I have personally seen professional soldiers and LEO's do incredibly stupid things with firearms. If I didn't know your safety or handling capability, I have to assume that you are a liability - period. With my family to consider, I'm simply not taking the chance.

I don't think you came off as a bully, but perhaps a little condescending, at least the way you originally described the incident.
 
Perhaps. Unfortunately text cannot always convey tone and that one part may have been done better but it was my first time. But once I knew the discomfort was not related to a legal concern I dropped the issue and left.
 
Well I am making a choice to not be deceitful and respect her wishes by simply not attending her home. I thought about that but not only would that hurt my RKBA cause, I feel it would hurt my witness as well.
 
I imagine you've been replaying the incident and wondering what you could have done differently, as we all do in uncomfortable situations, but ultimately you did the right thing.

Wear better clothes next time ;)

you asked and several of us answered although you did not like our answers...

yes- people like you are the undoing of our rkba progress- your rights/our rights do not supersede others rights- especially on their own property

I believe in Carrying and RKBA but not at the expense of others in their own homes. I have no "RIGHT" to make them uncomfortable in their own home...

and BTW you have not been berated- your actions of which you ASKED for opinion on have been and your retorts that sound like a child declaring his actions are ok because... you may very well be a decent guy... but whining about somthing ya asked for is childish.

I would debate any of the comments I made such as the term quiz which you had issue with although as even you whined- "i was technically correct" ... then giving excuse as to why it should not be considered quizzing etc...


the questions becomes not just one of legality but also ones of is that the highest response a Christian male could give? is it ok biblically to make someone uncomfortable in their own home etc... again- you may have not done anything legally wrong but is it good for rkba- do you think those two women will vote differently because you made them uncomfortable in their own home- would they just vote to make it illegal everywhere?

questioning her while still in the state that made her uncomfortable or fearful can be seen as bullying which you deny... your intentions may not have been to do that but it does not mean it was not seen that way by the ladies involved. or otherrs for that matter

hopefully ya learn from this and at least conceal better...
 
You are an arrogant, childish fool you know that? I did not intend to make her uncomfortable. I was not legally inclined to inform her of my carry status, nor was I ethically inclined to inform her. I had no knowledge of her feelings on the subject beforehand either. I did not stay and "question" or interrogate her as you are attempting to make it appear. Once I knew her discomfort was not related whether I was legally authorized to carry I left without hesitation. What did you want me to do? Run for the door weeping and apologizing on my way out and then beg at her feet for forgiveness once I returned without my firearm? Give me a break. Yes technically in the dictionary sense I did "quiz" her. But you are playing with words to make it sound like I interrogated this girl. I just wanted to understand the nature of her discomfort so if there was a misunderstanding I could clear it up. Once I knew that was neither the time or the place to continue I left. As I said I was out the door in 2 minutes. This is exactly the type of under handed tactic I see from the gun grabbers all the time so you should fit right in. You sir are not only contributing to the loss of our RKBA by choosing to attack one of your own (though at this point Im not so sure), you are also a poor example of a Christian yourself. If you truly felt I had done someting immoral or unethical, berating me on this forum was a poor way to handle it.

Matt 18:15 Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

I dont think what you did fits this description so called Christian
