Would you carry on a first date?

[Revhendo]

And like you said (and I also said) if we get through the date and I didn't know you had it (and you didn't try to kill me ) its a non issue. I wouldn't have had a fight or flight feeling.

But if you didn't tell me and I stumbled upon it then I would remove my self from a situation I wouldn't feel safe in. On a first date with a stranger hiding a gun from me at the point that I stumble upon it honestly I want nothing to do with you. I am not trying to control you, I am trying to control the amount of danger that knowing put myself in, minimize my risk if you will. Not sure how me deciding to walk out on a date is controlling someone other than my self.
I am simply not interested in letting someone infringe upon my right to safety.

Keep in mind this situation is set up as a first date (with what I assumed a stranger). Just as you have to have situation awareness when your carrying. As a woman I need to have situation awareness when I am out with a stranger who's intentions are unclear on a first date. Carrying a gun is a lot of responsibility, not everyone is up to the task.

Key words, Stranger, Not telling, and first date. This man be a hard concept for a guy to understand a woman's need to feel secure. I as well as many women would not feel comfortable with a stranger hiding a gun from them, and them stumbling upon it. I would no longer trust a man that hid a gun from me while in close proximity from me. A gun is a pretty big thing, what else are you hiding from me, an STD? A wife and 3 kids how the hell am I suppose to know, you just showed up with a gun on our first date. You could have duck tape, Lyme and a shovel in your truck for all I know since you hiding stuff.

And just to reiterate, not saying you shouldn't exercise your right to CCW. I just believe that on a first date it should either be left at home until you guys get a chance to feel each other out. Or you need to be upfront and honest and explain that you have a CCW and you will be carrying on the date. In most cases it will be an non issue but you owe your date the right to make that decision for their selves.

BTW god did not give you the right to firearms, the constitution did. God how ever did give me the right to life, and I plan to use my god given right to keep myself safe and date who ever I choose.

With that said my favorite ice cream is cookies n cream..

Not looking for an arguement, I just happened to get the feeling of trepidation in your dating life. With all of your concerns of the bad that may come of you, do you carry on a first date?

Yes, every time. If her hand is on my 1 o'clock waistband on the first "date" then I don't really care what she thinks in the first place.

It's a good occasion for some deeper concealment. Ankle? I've done it before.

I've done that a couple of times

I have a definite opinion on this matter, which is that I'm sure glad that I'm out of the dating scene.

This isn't the 50s anymore and they dont make 'em like they used to.

No I am not allowed to date, My boyfriend frowns upon it, he is selfish like that.

But when I was dating guys I would drive my self, and pay for my own meals. If I was not comfortable with someone I am not going on a date with them. Additionally all my dates would take place in very public area's. If I was going to meet someone that I felt I needed to conceal a weapon then I am not going to meet that person.

How ever there are many women who do not take such precautions and they are the ones who end up on my true crime shows.

I said "That makes no sense" to be gentle. What I meant to say is that you're a hypocrite - assuming that you support the 2nd amendment.

Your opinion sounds like an anti-gunner though, which would mean that you're not a hypocrite, but at best, someone who's prudent, but ignorant of the scope of the 2nd amendment.

I understand that you're trying to be careful, which is fine. If that's the case, you shouldn't be going out on blind dates.

You make no sense. I am a hypocrite because I think you should either tell the person your with that you are carrying or leave it at home? I can be a 2a supporter and still there is an appropriate way to go about it.

Ahhh yes Cookies n Cream ... good choice I like that one too.

Once a year, in celebration of Valentine's Day, they make that one called 'Passion' Nowwwww ... that there is an ice cream

BTW You think too much, relax, shake it off and have a good time

I have to go now, nice talking to you.

Never seen it, but then again I am more of a cake person that Ice cream so I rarely buy it. But I will look for that next year and sample it, I hate special runs of stuff because if you like it they suddenly cut you off leaving you wanting it but not able to get it.

I wasn't born in the 50's so that hold no relevance for me.

Secondly you guys are all assuming that I am against him CCW on his date. That's not what I have been saying. I said if your going to CCW then be up front and tell the girl that's what you plan to do.

If you don't want to tell her then don't be surprised if she finds out and reacts negatively.

Its not a hard concept its call full disclosed. Not saying tell everyone and their dog you are CCWing but how about the person you plan to potentially start a relationship with so your not starting off on a bad foot. I know guys prefer to lie about stuff or fail to mention things when it comes to females but really that pretty childish. If your a man then stand up and be a man and say your an avid 2a supporter who CCW's and be done with it.

I find it interesting that you give the summation of your answer before an almost answer. Thank you for the reply.

I might add that my wife is a bit touchy on the subject of me dating, also.
