Good for her.I'm always carrying something.
My oldest daughter is pretty left leaning but yesterday she really surprised me, she bought some furniture at IKEA and wanted to know if we could take my truck to pick up her stuff.
I thought it would be nice spending time with her so I took her to dinner before we went. I was shocked when she said (Dad you do have a gun with you right) l was pretty proud and we actually talked about getting her some lessons and a carry permit.

We had our yearly family reunion today. As usual a lot of food, laughing, pictures and fun. What was different this year than past years reunions was over 50% of my family where packing a firearm. Usually 3 or 4 did. So what has the family up in arms so to speak?
Other than reminiscing, most of the talk was about the lawlessness and riots going on. What I seen today was amazing to say the least. My family is split about 50/50 Democrat and Republican a few libertarians mixed in. All were in agreement the lawlessness must be stopped by whatever means necessary. Which was surprising as well. Many of my die hard Democrat voting family members said they were voting for Trump this year.
I think if the election isn't rigged Trump wins big this election.
That said how many people pack a firearm to a family reunion?
Went to my aunts 80th birthday party yesterday. She and most of her friends/family are very “liberal”.
Her best friend came up to me and said “I’m not sure what you call what you’re doing, “packing?”, I used to be scared when I’d see someone with one. These days I’m glad to see it and feel very safe being next to you.”
We had a short, pleasant conversation. She actually thanked me for carrying.
It was nice hearing that from an 80ish year old woman! Especially hearing how her views have changed in just the past couple years.
I didn't have a family reunion. However, I did carry(concealed) just this morning while at church. Believe it or not, I was actually asked some time ago by my pastors wife to join with other men in the church who carry. I am glad to oblige.
We have several people now that carry at church every Sunday.
Same at our church. Our pastor actually advocates to be armed while in church. He prefers no long guns and would prefer concealed carry but open carry is fine with him as well. In all I'd say over 60% carry a firearm to church.
My Pastor stands in the pulpit every Sunday with a firearm on his side. He is also a Chaplin for the local Sheriffs Dept. I am head of the security team at my church (Don’t be too impressed there are only three of us) and we don’t specifically ask anyone to carry that’s not on the team and has qualified due to liability issues. We probably have 8-10 carrying on every Sunday.
In Ohio its illegal to carry firearms to a church without the pastors permission. My youngest son was married in Youngstown,
Ohio. We told him to get written permission from the pastor because his brothers, grandparents, and father would be packing to the wedding. Youngstown is basically lil Chicago.
