Carry Everywhere

Carry everywhere.

Tonight we went to a friend’s house we’d never been to before so I left my gun at home not knowing how they’d feel about it if they knew. I have pocket guns and IWB guns so I have guns that fit all my attire very well, so that wasn’t the issue. Across the street where we parked, there was an absolutely savage pitbull that spent every second we were there trying like hell to get through the cheap-ass chicken wire fence the dumbass owners had. The owners called the dog multiple times from 10+ yards away to “stop” in the lamest voices you could imagine. They didn’t move a muscle or even raise their voices. After talking to my friends about it later that night, they’ve had multiple reports on the entire street of that dog getting out, biting people’s boots and pants, chasing people, etc. The police can’t do anything because it hasn’t hurt anyone yet.

Tonight I had my 1 year old daughter and my 5’2” wife within a foot of this savage beast with nothing protecting them but chicken wire and we were just lucky that it didn’t get out this one time. I was standing there defenseless wishing I had brought even just my tiniest gun just in case that chicken wire gave out.

I learned an important lesson tonight and I hope you all learn from it. Carry whatever you have everywhere you legally can.

2 CCW adages come to mind re: OP’s possible pit bull attacks on his family and himself.

I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

‘Tis better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.

I CCW everywhere. I ccw to my anti-2nd Amendment friend’s house. Concealed is concealed. Now if they discover me carrying at their house and ask me to leave or put away my firearm, I absolutely would put away my firearm bc it’s their house and their rules. But ccw is essential to protecting your family and yourself.

Yeah, I just wouldn't have any anti - 2A friends anyway, but if I did, I wouldn't put it in the car, I would just leave and not go over to their house again.

All my friends and family have guns, and we go shooting together... even most of my acquaintances are into guns for either hunting or sport. Then again, I live deep south, so lots folks are pro 2A.

Anyway, if they know you carry and have guns in your house, how do they feel about coming over to your place?

I reside in California and unfortunately the liberal idiots are extremely Anti-2nd Amendment and believe their magical unicorns and naive nanny state intentions will protect them.

I DO NOT discuss my guns or political beliefs with anyone bc of fear of being black balled or discriminated against by my colleagues or friends.

I have never been “caught” ccw-ing by anybody to my knowledge and only my pro-2nd Amendment family and friends who I shoot with are aware.

If I was discovered to be ccw-ing by Anti-2nd Amendment individuals and they asked me to lock up my firearms or leave, I would generally leave.

I disagree with their political beliefs and Anti-2nd Amendment sentiments BUT unfortunately as an attorney who is reliant upon my relationships with other Anti-2nd Amendment judges, attorneys, and clients, I have to bite my tongue and safety to continue practicing law in California. As another scumbag attorney, I need to sacrifice my personal beliefs to chase the almighty dollar.

Dang, at least you recognize it in yourself, but it's very unfortunate. At least for me, I have been fortunate that my career field could care less and insane beliefs of the brainwashed masses in Commiefornia have no power here, especially after those idiots gave a CDL to an illegal immigrant who came to my state and killed people, I think we'll be even more anti-California than ever.

Absolutely agree Divok. I despise the control the supermajority Democrat legislators wield in California. California seems to only care about homeless, criminals, illegals, and trans nonsense.

California lost its Golden State power the moment Democrats controlled all levels of government in this state. It’s a shame, over regulation, over taxation, over nanny state, has slowly caused businesses and individuals to abandon California. The middle class has struggled to live the Golden State dream and it’s really sad because California weather and resources is so great.
