I always make sure my liberal friend knows Ive got my gun. Hopefully it will help him understand its not the GUN thats the problem, but at the very least, it bothers him, and I like that.
The first time we went fishing I kept it CC and didnt tell him till we were loading up and headed out. It kinda threw him for a loop. Its amazing the dream world they live in.
It's like with babies. Out of sight, out of mind.
