(6,185 posts)18. Same thing here. Big family and friends dinner for my Dad's 93rd Birthday last Saturday
12 people from 5 years old to 93, all know I carry.
The restaurant is a sponsor of the Illinois State Rifle Assn. newsletter ... and serves a great cut of prime rib. Great old fashioned steak house, with Sinatra on the speakers and an experienced wait staff.
But, its located in what has turned into a kind of sketchy industrial park and you have to park up and down the street.
Amazingly, nobody freaked about my IWB Kimber or Dad's S&W snubbie in a Galco pocket holster I bought him, for that matter. Nobody squealed and ran away, not even the little girls.
But everyone at the table knew they were there. Funny how that works, ain't it?
(I wish I could have bailed on that check! But 93rd Birthdays only come around so often.)

That is true. Still you'd have to have serious issues to want to chase someone down due to shit

I voted posting on DU. I recall a member threatening to fart in my general direction.

If I was going out to dinner I sure wouldn't be lugging my AR-15 with me. Would get in the way of me

If he keeps it up, our genial host may need to "gently" use his rarely used hammer

I have better things to do than worry about something that will never happen
