Ok, guys, I need some good answers...
I have had my CCW for many years now, and for the most part never put my primary weapon on till I was ready to leave the house. My family knew this, and my wife and kids, (now 17, and 18) knew that I carried, but never told anyone.
I have started to wear another weapon around the house in a retention holster, a Ruger SR40C I recently purchased, just to get the feel of the weapon, and if I like the holster.
Now, here is my problem.... My kids and wife have started to "express" their displeasement with me carrying my weapon around in the house in plain view. My youngest daughter says she doesn't feel safe with me carrying around like that, and my wife has taken her side. I have tried to tell them that even in daylight, we are vulnerable in the house, and we all need to be prepared. My other weapon that I always carry is a Ruger 380 in a Bulldog pouch, which hides it completely, and by looking, you would think it's a large cell phone case, so I'm guessing the size didn't really bother them, but the SR40C is!
So, if any of you have had similar issues with family, let me know how you dealt with them. My only option right now, is to not carry around the house, and to strap on when we go out.
Thanks, Comm
