Mine can't STAND them. She always complains about how "stupid" I look,and blah blah can't I just leave it at home for once

(Yet she always talks about how bad she wants a Taurus millinium? And whenever she feels uneasy,shes like I hope you got your buddy with you :))

Yeah my wife has CCW'd before, and is getting a new CCW gun next month. She is always checking to make sure I have my gun with me. I am a very small gun (5-10 150lbs), so it's hard for me to conceal effectively with t-shirts. They have to be HUGE, and I am NOT looking for that "gangsta gangsta" look.

Drinking has taken a backseat to strapping on my sidearm. I can't believe that I'm now making such choices in which alcohol takes a backseat to something else. A gun is a really sobering device.

Bear in mind, TW (the wife) is under 21 for me, so she can't CCW.

(I'm 21!)

You're the same height, I'm a little heavier than you. So its not easy for me to conceal either. I discovered polo shirts work alot better than T-shirts (give me a mile away), but mostly dickies bottom-ups, cheap, comfortable,and do the job. (And people just think I do construction,with all my tattoos, haha)

There is other good news too, when your Colt, S&W, BHP, Walther, Ruger etc, etc go empty you don't toss then in the beer can stack, you simply reload them... thereby saving the planet.

We have a lot in common. My wife is not yet 21 either! She is getting a new carry gun for her 21st next month. She carried when we lived in SD where the age to CCW was 18, and also when we visited family in GA where the age is also 18. Maybe we should take this to PM so as not to thread jack this! (sorry to the OP!)

I am in Nevada. Haven't saved a dime on booze. It is perfectly legal to have a drink while carrying here and I do have an adult beverage on from time to time. No more or less then I would otherwise.

I like beer. I like whiskey. I don't feel any need to give it up or reduce my enjoyment. I am now an 'at home' drinker. The bar scene and the drinking and then driving home are not a good idea, never were.

I was very lucky - in the small town I lived in when I was young and stupid, the cops came by the bars (only 2 bars in town) at closing, and offered folks a ride home. For the few minutes required to perform this service, many problems were avoided. This is proactive police work at it's best.

There is only one gun law in this country, the 2nd Amendment. All else is bureaucratic nonsense that I choose to comply with or not at my discretion.

When governments make laws, they must consider the unintended consequences.

I don't like beer. I LOVE it! I have never heard of police officers doing that before. Sounds like a real stand-up department. Either that or they are lazy, and don't want to waste time with FSTs, BAC testing, and dealing with drunkards piloting their vehicles into poles, etc.
