I told one psycho girl upfront about me carrying, and my reward for it was a threat by her to file a false harassment claim since I didn't call her back "right away". I drove to the police station and showed the desk Sergeant my phone's text message thread of her threatening me to ensure I didn't end up on the wrong end of a false DV or arrest warrant.The LEO called the crazy girl and got things straightened out , but ever since then for understandable reasons i've been very cautious about who I tell regarding my armed status.

anyone that has a CCW should be very very cautious about who is told re armed status...imo.
in your instance, i'd consider not carrying on those "impulsive" dates or [and i know how unrealistic this is, especially for someone in your age group whether male or female] not have dates that aren't of a more serious nature. either that or get a regular call girl that isn't going to flinch when she sees the holster. seriously. the idea that a CCW person can have a casual sex life seems to be counter intuitive to me........

I would be up front with them. Don't try and determine if they will have a problem with it before you say anything. Someday, you would have to tell them if it turned into a serious relationship so why wait? If anything, it should put her at ease. if she knows anything about a concealed license, knowing what we have to go through to get one. The FBI knows us better now than our close friends after that intense back ground check.
If they have a problem with it....move on to someone else. I would want to know - male or female - if they had a gun before I left with them. I would probably ask to see their license. Anyone can say they have a carry license. Then I would make the decision whether to go or not. Silver - sounds like she was a nutcase anyway. Glad to hear you went to the police before it became a nightmare. |

Some insight.
Quote:
The only people who had guns in New York at the time were police and criminals, few regular folks had guns due to the "Sullivan law". While there are differences between men and women regarding how they view guns, there is a big difference between how folks from New York view guns. In general, ex New Yorkers either true to impose NY style gun laws on everyone else when they leave or they go the correct way and arm themselves to the teeth. Be discreet about being a gun owner when you first meet someone, if you meet someone that you want to keep in your life, you may want to start of the gun issue first about attitudes on owning guns first. Don't come off as "Rambo", downplay things and be sensitive. Women don't want to hurt people, that is why self-defense tools such as mace, pepper spray and stun guns heavily market that they don't cause permanent injuries. The fact that in many cases the only way to stop a violent attack is to "INJURE" the attacker is something that many women have a "mental block" on because it goes against their "core believes". Women operate far more "emotionally", so that is how you need to approach the subject. Half the people who show up at my shoots are female btw and I'm running my shoots in the SF bay area, so there is hope. This is a good question, perhaps we as a community need to come up with a "focus group", answer FAQ and post it in a video format as a learning tool. Nicki |

The fact that the odds of a violent crime happening to you are low (about 1 in 300 per year), the fact is that those statistics are not likely to be much comfort if you're the 1 in 200 it happens to. The latest FBI Uniform Crime Report data cited about 1.2 million violent crimes in the United States last year - and that's near to a historical low. Tammy

He's from South Dakota. They make good men up there. Except for the 'casual encounters' part. Last edited by Glock Girl in CA; 10-30-2012 at 8:03 PM.. |
