Going out with friends is not a problem. Most of them are pro gun and will be taking their CHL this month. I am the first one in the group of friends to get the CHL.

Going out to bars, I usually disarm myself before heading inside with my friends. I obey the law as much as I can, depending how bad the neighborhood is.

I play basketball a lot. I usually have my backpack with me and I just leave my handgun in my bag where I can have a clear view on it at all times.

So far, the closes for me to pulling out my gun was at 2:30am in the early morning. Someone smashed into my uncles Ford F-150 right in front of the driveway and the alarm went off. They busted the back and driver side windows with a brick. They ripped out my uncle's dvd/mp3 player from the dash board that cost over 1k. By the time we got outside, the BG's have already fled the scene. This happened probably 3 - 4 months ago.

The basketball court we play at is well gated away from the playground. Kids at the park is being watched by parents at all times. The backpack is about 10-15 feet away from where we play. I'm always alert and looking over at my bag every minute when the ball goes out of bounds. Plus, my backpack is surrounded by my friends wallets and cell phones on the floor. If a kid wanted to take anything he would go for the easiest target, which would be a wallet or cell phone. It be really stupid to do something like that, especially when there is 10 guys on the court fully aware of their stuff and they be chasing after you.

BTW, I agree with Venus. Children shouldn't be unattended without a parent.

Same here. I have a few close friends that wants a CHL and a handgun. They are either around my age or a year younger. It's kind of scary because they see me carrying and they want to do the same thing. I've talked to them already about the responsibility of carrying and what to do and not to do. It kinds of worry me sometimes because these guys are party animals. I told them after they get their CHL, party time is over. They stare at me like I am dumb or something. I can only show them the door. They are the one that has to walk through it. If not, then they will learn it the hard way.
