Sorry about your SIL and her failure to understand the importance of self protection. Sorry about your FIL with loose lips. However, I think the tradition of asking the father for permission to marry his daughter shows respect, courtesy, manners and good breeding on your part.
I think that a "counter-walkout" with empty holsters is a great idea.
