Miss Penny and I traveled to our daughter's home yesterday to gather up our four year old grand daughter and bring home with us for a few "just because" days of visiting. Crafting, smoking a pork butt, and a trip to an indoor pool at our health gym are on tap.
I carry a Ruger SP101 in an AIWB holster of my own design and execution.Yesterday I didn't bother covering my PPD (personal protection device), choosing a tucked in button down dress shirt instead. Kenzie my grand daughter asked "PawPaw why do you have a gun?". Searching for words appropriate to her age and the situation as we conversed with her and her mother there in the living room I replied "Kenzie honey, because God blessed me with wonderful gifts like YOU, and wants me to do everything possible to protect His gifts from dangers. My gun is one way I can help do that." I touched her nose with my index finger as I said "YOU", and asked her "What do you so if you EVER see a gun baby?" She looked confused for a moment, until I added "If you ever see a gun you don't touch it, but instead you go get an adult. OK?" I added "one day when you are old enough, your Mama and Daddy will teach you to safely hold and shoot guns.". She said "OK PawPaw", and climbed back up on the couch beside me and asked me again to "tickle my feet PawPaw!". At no time was my precious baby ever able to touch my PPD.
May God bless the children folks. And may they never experience the evil my beloved wife Miss Penny have seen and experienced.
