You bake Christmas cookies and forget you are carrying. :mrgreen:


Your turn!
If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you carry a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?

I forget I'm carrying a gun about as often as I forget I'm carrying a wallet. :confused5

When you're laying on the couch watching BBC Top Gear and are wondering what's jabbing into your side. :lol::

You feed, bathe, fit, trim and show you cattle with your trusty friend at your side the entire time. Then only time you notice is potty breaks and the creepy walk to the truck after a 15 hour day!

When you need to clean your eyeglasses, grab the hem of your sweater and, while chatting with your kids and wiping your eyeglasses, you watch their eyes go wide, like this... :shock:

I've taken naps wearing mine. I really forget it's there.

My 5-year-old and 3-year-old sons go around with squirt guns stuck in their waistbands and/or pockets trying to be like Mommy. Clearly they need to save up their allowance for a good Crossbreed. ;)

Welllll, I hope I NEVER FORGET that I am loaded. Especially, when I'm driving, or going onto school grounds, or flying, or at DFW to go to New York or to California, or going to Wal-Mart, or at a convenience store, or going to court, or ...... anywhere and everywhere else. Alternatively, I hope that I do remember whenever, for some reason, I am un-loaded.

When you get home and take the holster off, and then immediately put it back on because your pant don't fit.

My grandkids have told me that my gun is showing after I have cleaned my glasses with my shirt. Usually it goes something like this--"Pawpaw, I didn't think you were supposed to show your gun to anybody." ME--"I'm not". Them--"then why are you?"

Glad they are old enough to understand.

Don't know that I have ever been so comforable that I was not aware I was CC. It has been comforting to have a family member who knows I carry recently ask why I was not carrying at a large family gathering. And I was. Thanks Kangaroo Carry.

When I first started carrying my Mother-In-Law used to think it fun to try and figure out where I was carrying. One Christmas we made a special trip to a restaurant about 100 miles away to look at all of their Christmas decorations and their old-time village. Before we left she couldn't see any indications of an IWB holster, and my jeans were snug enough that there was no pocket carry. She decided that since we were going into another state I must not have been carrying. The whole trip I could see her scanning my waist any time I would remove my coat for signs of my Glock 19. Only after we returned back home about 8 hours later did I show her the Kangaroo holster and that I had been carrying the whole time. From that point on she just gave up and figured if I was there I was armed. :mrgreen:
