The woman I date and sleep with, and who gladly eats my cooking, "packs heat" herself.
...And she's getting pretty good with that little "gat" of hers, too.

You crack me up steve-o.

It's intentional.
Since you're stuck in L.A., I figure that we have to do something to make your life happier.

Initially I usually get a high pitched "OMG" and then I make them hold it. And the same thing goes for the gun too! lol

Usually if I don't have to tell them I don't, I just carry. If Im getting serious with a girl I eventually have "the conversation"

Haha! So how are your taxes down in sunny California ? I feel bad for your poor soul!

Jake, you're as bad as I am!

(Jean's response: "OK. Never mind. You go talk to your guy-friends.")

Some years ago, a friend of mine put on a "practical" pistol event in which each participant was individually sent to "rescue" a gorgeous, long-legged redhead, one if his psychology students, from a (cardboard-target) "kidnapper."
To make it more difficult, the girl was dressed in ultra-short short-shorts and a very revealing, skimpy top. To make it easier, the "kidnapper," when you finally shot him, was found to be holding a fully-loaded revolver, so you got an extra gun.
If you were so silly as to hand the pistol to the girl, she had been trained to screech "Eeek—a gun!" Then she dropped it. When you bent down to pick it up, that's when the pop-up targets, the "kidnapper"'s "accomplices," appeared.
It was a very interesting exercise!

Just seized the opportunity haha

What the heck have you been up to Steve? I had gone ghost on here for awhile

I carry IWB (comp-tac Spartan) or OWB custom leather at 3:30-4:30.
I carry for the same reasons I work. I am an adult. As such I am responsible for the welfare and safety of myself and my loved ones. This is not just a right, but also a duty

Bingo... there are those out there that would rather watch their company or loved ones be raped or murdered in front of them then taking the tiny bit of responsibility of carrying or standing up when trouble arises

We live in a society of excuse my language men who act like bitches. Welcome to the pussification of American culture

Have you guys ever been in trouble with your gun by the police? Had one too many and maybe brandished it, in the wrong place?

All the time, twice on Thursdays because you know guns and boos go together like milk and Oreos...

In all seriousness, answering that question with a yes would pretty much guarentee expulsion from this forum.

Guns and boos do not go together and in most states it is either illegal to drink while carrying or being over the legal limit while carrying renders a carry permit null and void which equals illegal carry.

You keep using the word "brandishing" please look up the meaning of the word as it relates to firarms and understand that the act of brandishing a firearm is illegal...pretty much everywhere.

After that, read the forum rules and find the part about illegal activity....

Okay sorry man!

LA,
I'm general, most firearms owners are law abiding and not hot headed. I have noticed a number o your posts in this thread asking (some would say baiting) about "have you drawn when you shouldn't"
Not likely from the vast majority of carriers (note I do not care if they CC or OC). Also I would suspect continued pushing of these questions (which have been mostly ignored) is likely to alienate you from many members.
Just some thoughts for you.

Nah he's green. Very, very green and starting at ZERO fundamental knowledge on firearms beyond media hype and the movies.

Give him some time, I've seen several members like this on other forums and provided they listen and seek training, real life in person quality training/education they pan out Ok.

I'm a newbie guys, gimme a break!@ lol

Not upset. Not harping on you. Just an observation from a few years of carrying, forums like this, etc.

As VAmarone said

If you want us to "give you a break," then you need to give us the same courtesy.
Ask questions which make you look as if you are a responsible gun owner, rather than provocations which make you look as if you have entrapment in mind.

I am responsible. I just know the way a responsible gun owner, outside of CA lives. I live in CA so I cant get away with half the stuff you guys do. Makes sense right?

See...classic example of coming off wrong.

Just what are we "getting away with?"

I didnt mean it like that VAmarine, gimme a break. I meant something that you can do, without getting in trouble with the law.

We're not "getting away with" anything. We are obeying the laws of the federal government, and of our respective states.
We do not "brandish," we do not consume alcohol while armed or driving, we do not use recreational drugs while armed or driving, and we keep our concealed weapons concealed from everyone—until they're needed.
You appear to be envious of our relative freedom, which makes you ask silly—and even insulting—questions. That will not get you the support and experience you seem to want. You cannot live vicariously, pretending to be one of us, by trying to entrap us into harmful admissions that could result in us losing our rights.
If you have procedural and technical questions, ask away. But the questions you've been asking are neither of those. As a result you are losing our goodwill.
I suggest that you need to find some maturity, and to straighten yourself out, rather than continuing to act from the envy that you seem to feel.
