That was the final nudge for me. The parents know I carry and I usually carry everywhere we go that I legally can. My only fear was wnat I'd have to explain to the kids, but I'd rather explain my carrying than why I wasn't if something happened.

Christmas Eve we were at some friends' house for dinner and early presents with our Godsons. About 10:00 at night the doorbell rang and I heard someone ask who it was from the other room, the father looked out the door and said "I don't know." My wife gave me "that look" that asked if I had my gun on me and I had to shake my head as I usually leave it in the vehicle when I'm there so it doesn't get seen by the kids. One is slightly autistic and I don't want the questions that might arise.

Anyway, long story short it was a neighbor with food. From now on though I will be carrying in their house as that incident, as well as the Grapevine, TX family killing and recent home invasions in the area just drove home why I carry.
