When I'm at home my handgun is usually near by. I pretty much live at my computer so it is usually stashed away in the hutch on my computer desk which was the case tonight. My son and his 2 children were over for dinner and afterwards we went into the computer room to watch TV. Everything was fine until........
My son spotted the holstered LCP on the hutch and went berserk. He grabbed the gun and ran off to the back room where he laid the gun on the TV in that room. The whole time screaming "this is very bad" over and over then out the front door he went. Soon afterward his wife showed up, also very angry, grabbed up the kids and out the front door they ran the whole time telling the kids how bad guns and grandpa are.
I have to admit it happened so fast I was speechless. They have always known there are guns in the house and usually on me most of the time. Of course my wife (who also hates guns) isn't helping any saying he has a right to fear for his children's lives.
Had they given me time to talk, I could have told and proven to them that the gun wasn't even loaded!
