Concealed carry around your kid

<< < (3/3)

unfy:
I really do appreciate all of the replies and have been giving the topic a lot of thought as they roll in.  Hell, I even printed the thread so I can think about it and debate it with close family as well.

I will probably continue the general firearm training as well as using the narrowed / simplified list of commands... and I will probably not tell the kid about carrying, but just focus on 'do what daddy tells you to do'.

As far as the ex-gf and her family and all of that -- the ex and I are still good friends.  We just turned out to do better as friends than romantically involved.  Since the subject of carrying does involve her kid, she knows that I carry.  She's expressed the standard concern any parent would but appears fine with the matter.

Something that probably goes against most of the people's opinion here ... is that close friends and some members of her family I still frequently visit - I ask all of them for permission to carry into their house.  I don't feel like securing the weapon each time I visit one of them unless they're against me carrying.... and I won't walk into someone else's house if they're not aware that I might be carrying (it's akin to being polite to not smoke in a non-smoker's house).

Again, thanks for the feedback, guys!

DaveB:
Personally I am okay with all but telling people you are carrying. It is concealed, that means nobody knows but you. Smoking is not concealed, they can tell if you have cigs in your pocket because you don't have to hide them. You might light up a cigarette, but you aren't just going to whip out a gun. It is all in how you want to handle it, just giving my opinion. As long as you are comfortable, carry on.
