Well, I am pretty open to people within our family about my gun ownership, but I try to keep a low profile around most others. Except for my sister and her husband, my brothers and I all own guns and shoot quite often so I am not too worried about them blabbing. I would not like my family to go around telling everyone that I have a guncollection. Nobody elses business.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?
You are SO sleeping on the couch.
This was MY thought, when I posted B4, let this thread run, and then let her read it, and see if she LOL'd... she did ... I hope all is well.... I tried to REP you, for this, but I am OUT, till tomorrow ...Nope not married, just SO. Its a mutual agreement that it has worked as is for 11 years so why change it now. And I spend money on her too. This summer I bought her a platinum/ diamond ring with some cash that I had been saving for my next toy purchase.
And to the guy that thinks he has my location, yea your so smart, you think I would post my actual info in my profile? Come on. I live nowhere near a highschool, or a park. Lol.
I just let the Other half read all of the above and she found most of it amusing. She said that she wants to start her own user I'd and join the fun on ingo.

No, my list points to some people the OP may know and respect who are exposed to a wide clientele, wealth and may tell stories to those clients. A recent major court case in my area revolves around 3 doctors dealing drugs. A certain east coast group run by a former governor just seemed to misplace 1 billion dollars.Sounds like someone is butthurt. You're no different than all the occupy people if thats your opinion.
All good!SO. Its a mutual agreement that it has worked as is for 11 years so why change it now.

People who have wealth and then lose it sometimes do desperate things. The Finance center in Indy does not like people who have bankruptcies in their past.
If a CPA cheats/breaks the law don't assume you can trust them. I love my CPA and Attorney but they are both ethical, gun owners and hunters who I know well. I still don't tell them everything.
The obvious ones are Cops, Teachers, Bankers, Neighbors and Coworkers.
Customers, if you are a bar or restaurant owner, where people linger for hours not minutes and TALK. They see when you are at work, know you have wealth and know you work odd hours. If everyone in the family works at the business......................ask me how I know this one. My Uncle had a collection of guns in a locked safe room, then one day he didn't.
Everyone in this thread is just one person away from some serious sh**. Not two, three or four, just one. Like degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Profiling may be unsavory when race based, but if you don't "profile" the people in your life based on the facts you know and observe you are in denial.
Guns can be a liability, we love em, and want to own them all, but we have to be descete about them. Thieves will break into our homes if they know we have them. Criminals will commit crimes if they know we are not carrying, many great things about gun ownership, publicity might not be one of them.
