I have noticed latley that my better half has been advertising to random friends and family that I have been buying guns and that I carry one.
(examples):
1) last weekend her parents were in from out of town and stayed at our place. We were watching American guns as we all socialized and cought up. And in conversation about the guns on TV she let's it be known that I carry a gun. Not a big deal because they don't really care but I don't want it advertised that I carry.
2) last night a friend of hers was over dropping of a couple purses for my other half to look at and maybe buy. And I commented that I wanted one of them being sarcastic and she bluffs out " if you can buy a bunch of guns then I can buy purses".
So after her freind left I told her that I would appreciate it if she would not advertise that I have a collection of guns and that I carry one. And that I just didn't want the wrong ears to hear and draw unwanted attenion to our house or to me.
She got pretty upset with me about the situation. Was I wrong to ask her not to advertise, or am I just to paranoid? I am not sure weather to feel bad about it because I was pretty sturn about it or not. I feel that my guns are my business and if I wanted someone to know about them I would tell them.
What do you guys think? Anyone go through something similar?
