In our particular instance above, I CHOSE NOT to carry to the Saturday night party in the home of our first CHL instructor (there were at least a half dozen CHL's in attendance). The next day, Sunday, I CHOSE TO carry to the Christmas service in the house of the Lord. In both instances, Mrs. Oldgringo and I exercised our liberties, did our thing and arrived home safely thereafter.

You are absolutely right, but I CHOOSE to carry or I CHOOSE not to go. As for carrying at Mom's, if I didn't carry, I would be the only adult there not carrying including Momma. She got her CHL before I did.

I don't think there is anything wrong with people except for a possible misinterpretation of what a right is. We have the right to carry, or the right not to carry. It works both ways. But it is my choice. Not yours, my mommies or my ex chl instructor. I saw a few posts saying they would not go if told not to carry. That is also a choice. The reality of it all is, I have no such weird folks in my circle of friends or family. The very nature of that request, indicates a person I would not associate with in the first place.

Exactly! Is this a great country or what?

I guess that depends on what part of the country you live in.

You mean east Texas vs West or North Texas? Our country is huge but I am pretty sure, with the exception of KaliAustin, most folks in the great Nation of Texas are believers in the RKBA.

It sounds like you haven't been invited to the right parties.

Yep. Lots of gray, but we should respect the those that may not feel comfortable with guns in there own home. We may wish everyone were carry friendly, but that just isn't how the world works.

Should we have occasion to visit in the house of those of differing views, the visit is not long. For instance, I only know two people who will admit to voting for the current POTUS. One lives in St. Ignatius, MT and the other lives down the street. We don't see either very much. Birds of a feather tend to flock together....

I was thinking the same thing. I cannot think of one person I know that is anti gun. I know a couple retards who voted Odumbell because their daddy and daddy's daddy and daddy's daddy's daddy... and maybe even their "baby momma" voted democrat. But even they are pro gun. They just don't believe Odumbell is gonna try to take them away. I even know one or two people who own only one gun. Even they would not presume to tell me what I can wear under my outer garments to their house. If my gun ain't welcomed, then neither am I and I sure don't want to be around such fools.
