A guy on THR posted this - in fact I'll quote close to original. Seemed like an interesting question to get feedback on and most responses he got were about what I'd expect.
If all things add up OK then I would have no problem with having the young man in my house and would actually feel my daughter was safer in his company than on her own - tho in fact she will I hope also have her own CCW soon as she turns 21.
My final wish would be that said young man should have had some demonstrable training such that he is proficient and so acceptably safe, as against a ''macho carrier''!
Oh and I'd also impress on him if all else added up well - that he should remember to always where possible get heck outa Dodge and avoid trouble like the plague! Plus make sure he is alert.
If he passes this scrutiny then he's fine :banana:
Far as I am concerned - I would have already I guess made some judgement of a young fella courting my daughter - and if comfortable with his attiude and demeanor would probably then like to know if he has a permit - solely such that I can know he is therefore ''clean'' - as in non-felon. Better still - be good to know up front he carries but hey - we all tend to keep that secret so why shouldn't a young guy also keep it to himself. Of course arguably too, as we say often - ''concealed is concealed'' and so he should not let himself be made but - many of us might just manage that anyways :wink:Assuming they were both of an appropriate age, what would you or your sig other do/feel/say if you discovered your offspring's date had a CCW on them, and up until now, no one knew about it. For example, daughter's date takes off his coat when they come over to meet you, and he accidently flashes a pistol butt and doesn't notice, but you do. Would you mention it? Would you toss him out? Would you see it as responsibility or a sign of no good, etc?
I figure I already know how daddy would feel if his son brought home a girl that was packing. :smile:
