She turned 21 two weeks ago. I took her to the gun show this past week-end, where she took the course to qualify for her CCW.
She doesn't have her own gun yet, and I want her to put a few hundred more rounds through mine before she gets her own, but she's strongly pro-gun and pro-self-defense. She's slowly but surely working on converting various liberal friends, too.
She was, of course, quite dismayed to learn that she's not allowed to carry on campus grounds. As she so logically pointed out, college campuses are where lots of attacks (rapes) take place.
For you young'uns on this board, or those of you with kids my daughter's age who carry -- my biggest concern is pounding into her head that her friends should not necessarily know that she owns/carries. My daughter has had the safety rules ingrained in her brain, and she is very safe and careful with firearms -- but at her age I'm quite sure she doesn't realize how stupid some people can be around them. I'm afraid the temptation to let people know she has a gun might overcome the warnings I've given her about it.
Anyone have any tips on how to emphasize to a 21-year-old that her early-20s friends really shouldn't know she carries, and really shouldn't ever be allowed to touch or handle her gun (unless under supervision -- i.e., by me, or some other responsible adult)?
