Hmm, in my case it was my girlfriend who talked me into getting my CCW so telling her was moot point. She said she feels safer with I have it with me. She goes to the range occasionally with me. Damn, she shoots my 45 better than me.

My dad is cool with it. He's always been around guns all his life and he used to be in the army. I told him I carry but never made an issue of it.

My mom on the other hand, is the one who has issues over it. She says she believes in our rights, but thinks no one should have guns. There's always going to be at least one person who objects. Goes with the territory. Probably part of why my dad gave me all of his guns when he retired.
