Here's the scenario-
Wife and son (9yr old) helping another mom close up concession stand at school's ballfield. Games are over and everyone else is gone. The other mom expresses concern over leaving the ballfield late at night with money. My wife tells her she is sure everthing will be fine and if not they do have a couple of my son's baseball bats. My son then says " I think I feel safer leaving here at night when dad is with me." To which the other mom replies "I'm sure you do since your dad carries a gun".
Now how do you like that? Apparently there are a handful of people that know I carry. None of them have been told by either my wife or my son. The people that do know are involved with alot of the same activities, baseball, church, scouts, etc. I never carry at the ballfield since it is at a school and I don't typically carry in church or at scout meetings (though when I do I am extremely vigilant about concealment).
We live in a rural area and my family (parents included) is well known. We are known to be service veterans and firearms enthusiasts, so maybe these folks are making assumptions?
My intention on this forum was to keep quiet and listen, so I'll listen to what everyone has to say about this.
