I never said she teased me in public. The teasing doesn't come often and it's always a private poke in the ribs,... with a smile. We've been together now for 4 years come this New Years Eve. I don't see an end in sight nor do I see the beginning of a marriage (we've both been there and done that). She is definitely more pushy on me with her ideals than I am with mine on her. But ever since I survived my first marriage, my attitude is pretty much "This is who I am. Take it or leave it." So far, the pros out weigh the cons for both of us. That may not always be the case, but I'll love her for as long as it is.

BTW: I think I'm actually winning (by a very small amount). The teasing is subsiding and on at least one occasion she seemed to be thankful that I WAS carrying. :-)

I think this is the important part. It appears that she is laughing with you more than at you. Big difference.

Also, the fact that she was thankful at one point that you were carrying shows that perhaps she is starting to see things from a different perspective.

When one chooses to open a business to the public, one has to be willing to accept certain things that they do not agree with to some level. I can see her argument if this were a person's private residence, but a business is a different matter. The customer's rights also have to be respected.

Re: Whole Foods Gun Policy

OP, people change their minds. My mother thought it was the most ridiculous thing in the world when I got my CHL in 2006. It expired recently. I was telling her about this, and how I've registered for a renewal class. She was upset that I wasn't able to carry my gun on my body in the grocery store, and I got a tongue-lashing for not making it a priority.

Re: Whole Foods Gun Policy

We're taught constantly in our culture that we should "respect" the wishes of other people. That's great up to the point where those people's wishes do not respect our safety.

Also, I usually consider the ghostbuster & generic "no guns" signs as their token signs to satisfy insurance providers. If they really wanted to keep a CHLer out, they would post 30.06.
