I was at Bible Study tonight and I guess my shirt came up while I was bent over. Usually I am much more cautious but I just was not thinking this time as this is an environment I was very comfortable in. A girl who I have known for years asked me if that was a gun and I tried to play it off but no dice. It was at a friends house. She asked my why I was carrying it and looked at me as though I was a moron. I said I carry it everywhere for protection and that we are not safe just beacause we are having bible study. So she gets up and I can hear her telling the girl who owns the house (another friend of mine) about it and them talking about how stupid it is. Later when everyone who saw were back in the room I poiltely asked that they not tell anyone about it. I let them know I am a concealed carry permit holder and I was doing nothing wrong but that there is no need to advertise it. The girl who owned the house said its not a huge deal now but she is not really comfortable with it. I explained that guns were inantimate objects that only respond to what a person tells them to do and that in good hands they are very safe and do not just "go off". I then asked her what she was not comfortable with. She could not give me a straight answer but said she just was not comfortable with it. I said she is entitled to her opinion. The conversation left off there as with so many people still being in the house it was not a good time for a lengthy discussion.
She never said anything about asking me to not carry it in her house but I fear that is what is coming. I talked to my wife about it and we agreed that if that happened that we would not go over there anymore at all. Do you guys feel I handled this correctly? How would you recommend I have handled it, and how would you handle it if asked not to carry it at the house anymore?
