CLOSE friends, and family is all I tell about the CCW.
My sister was very opposed to firearms, especially in her house when I first told her anout the CCW. She was pregnant and told me that when the baby is born, I had better not bring a gun into her house. But since the baby was born, when I visited at first I told her that I forgot to stow the piece, and for some reason, she no longer cared, just shrugged it off. Now it's no big deal at all to her.

On the other hand, I learned my lesson on who to tell with a business associate. He was looking for armed security w/ CCW, so I told him I in fact have a CCW and was interested. I did not get the job from him, but after that he would tell anyone around, "This guy has a CCW!".
I no longer associate with him...

Sounds familiar. I was cleaning several at the kitchen table the first time I met my daughters boyfriend. He looked very nervous. We all still joke about it. They are getting married in July. And yes, he does go shooting with me now.

Well that's what my wife says I am supposed to do when we have kids.

What do you do if the boy says, " let's make it 9PM, then we'll have time to go to the range."?

Our house backs up to Bogg's Forest, about 4000 acres.

When my daughter started dating, I would ask the young man if he could run faster then 1200 feet per second!

I would also remind him there's 4000 acres out back and they would never find him, if she's not home on time and in the same shape she left.

My daughter married a fine young man who owns guns and shoots often. She now owns two handguns herself.

My wife and son know. YOU know. Others may guess, but so far no one has asked me.
