Am I right to be annoyed? (Concealed carry discussion)

Just found out his wife carries one here too. You know, because 2 guns are always better than one.

My husband and I both carry concealed, even at home. 100% of home invasions happen at home

That said, your brother is an idiot. No responsibly armed citizen would ever...EVER pull their weapon unless s/he intended to eliminate a threat. Carrying is not a joke, not something to brag about. In fact, nearly nobody knows that either of us carries. Hence the "concealed" part. Your brother broke every one of the four rules of carrying a weapon. You have ever right to be mad and to think that he's dangerois and unfit to carry a weapon, because he is.

Ok so yes, your brother is an idiot, no doubt. Maybe he shouldn't carry.

For those of us that do carry and are responsible (some of us daily, everywhere we go) we wouldn't do something like that. For those of you that lead on to being against guns, this is a free country, it's one of our natural born rights, in fact it's so free, your free to move to a country that has no guns. As for only allowing ex military or police into your home, you do know there have been many police and ex military who have shot themselves, others, or have had accidental discharges (in fact, more times than those who have legal carry permits, not knocking police, we need them in society and most do a damn fine job). While we're speaking of police, ask most police how they feel about armed citizens. Your likely to hear praise on ccw holders, how were their best backup, and how your with an attacker for 90 seconds on average, takes police 7 minutes on average to respond, your best shot at surviving is either by the help of a ccw permit holder or your own concealed handgun. I have been given lectures by enough police officers about not carrying even for just a trip to the gas station that I always carry now.


My point, think a little more before you respond, and try not to post a shallow poorly thought response.

"That's the issue right there. You want to have guns all over your house, great do it, that's your choice. Do not ever expect to be allowed in my house with one."

I'm curious about this statement.  Do you ask everybody that comes over to your house if they have a concealed weapon?

That's my quote up there. The people that come over to my house are not gun owners. They are very close family and friends that share my values and I would have no reason to question them about it. Now, I do have one friend that comes over occasionally that is pursuing her concealed carry permit and when she gets one and purchases a firearm I will absolutely be having a discussion with her about my expectations when she comes over (which happens once a year or so).
