My wife and I used to have problems discussing my carry gun in public. One time, in a crowed place, 2 people were seriously about to get into a fight and my wife got worried and asked me "are you carrying your gun?"
I just cringed, because I knew a lot of people heard...
Since then she decided to call my gun 'Pete'.... so know if we ever have to talk about my carry gun we talk about 'Pete' instead.
Like... Do you have Pete? Is Pete with you? Are you bringing Pete?
