maybe I don't understand the entire situation. As long as your wife is in agreement, your kids don't have to go there.

Yeah shouldn't be and hasn't been off and on. Really its the first time it has come up and an emergency happened so haven't had the time to talk about it. Plus pretty sure we are separating. Not as a result of this thought. Although that would be funny.

I thought i responded to these? Yeah i am not worried about it. I can't control really if my kids go over there. That would take legal action that I probably wouldn't win. It may seem as simple as that, but for anyone that understands how dad's "rights" are in Texas it is few and far between.

A turn of events have happened on that side of the family and I have been watching my brother in law who is younger and mentally challenged. Yeah I have a brother in law that is younger.

Her mom has had 9 children. I could go and on and on. I'm not really worried about it. I never have to go over there again for all I care if thats how that feel. The fact it was text to my wife and not me is childish in itself.

I didnt start carrying till after we got together, but yeah I agree with everything being brought up

I have been carrying for over 3 years. I have worn clothing that almost is borderline unacceptable or concealing a pistol at times at home, around family etc testing the waters versus public. I have done this all successfully for about a year and a half after being more comfortable.

Today working at my in laws for them I had a baggy sweatshirt and a baggy shirt almost 2 sizes to big for me plus LONG for shirts I normally wear. WELL mother in law claims she saw it in my pants in a holster on my hip. It was. She is a liar though. I know it wasn't her. Why? . she is a compulsive manipulative liar who wasn't there long enough to see it.

She text my wife about it WAY after the fact. My guess is while bending all the way down to help with a huge wooden box which immediately held with one hand to fix my shirt out of habit. This 18 year old boy with a social issues or something was standing right there gawking at me as he had been all day.

Obviously the fault is mine. Its amazing to me though after all this time and the clothing I was wearing it happened. Sort of makes me feel like now I always need a shirt tucked OVER my gun.

Anyways she also added that it is not happening in her house because to many accidents can happen... I looked at my wife and said "darn..guess I wont be going over anymore"

-rant start- When I met them 6 years ago I can't say enough on how judgmental this family was on everything especially about guns. Her mom was born in England, raised in Canada, moved from California to Texas and complains about that fact daily ( I may take the Texas trash talk to seriously).

Ok So about 2 years ago her step dad approached me about a gun for home defense. I was shocked to say the least. I explained why pistols are better than rifles or shotguns, but should be paired with one etc. He was open minded and confirmed with me he understood why they are both important.

At this time with the nine brothers and sisters are the only tie they have to a gun owner. He went 3 years ago and bought an basic AR on sale at Cabelas. He was commanded, which he agreed to, keep it in pieces and bullets who knows where. I get over there at some point for him to show me. The gun is in pieces ok? I start loading the metal magazine that came with it since he said he hadn't I was showing him how they did and trying to explain things. Mother in law was in the room with the eldest son and they start, quite literally, shrieking at the top of their lungs. I kindly unload it and explain there was no reason to be afraid. I then explained why keeping it in pieces and only having a long gun coming out their bathroom closet was not the best idea. My wife chimed in telling them pay attention because I had a point. I showed them how much of the barrel was visible before I was. I also kindly explained if their reason for purchase was infact HD, a gun in pieces with bullets everywhere else BUT in the gun doesn't serve a purpose and they had the right BECAUSE they were in Texas to do as they wish so long it was within the law.

Since then my wifes sister (about 1-2 years ago) got with a guy HUGE into hunting anything with a pulse lol. He took myself and father in law out about 2 years ago hunting. I posted around that time asking the forum if we got pulled over should I out myself?.

Somehow this guy and my father in law go hunting quite often together. In January I went with them once and my father in law said I should bring my pistols next time. Little did he know my Glock 29 was on me at the time he said that. I just felt that even after this time he has had to get into guns I liked my space with carrying. I have heard all kinds of stuff from them like "you would have to be crazy not to carry a gun in these times". I just usually would nod my head and change subjects.

-rant end-

I feel pretty irresponsible. However, I really feel like it was just a fluke and I cant help but laugh at how the outfit I was wearing was the one it happened it over my normal clothing.
