Struck Gold!
I met a new girl last week and last night we decided to see each other exclusively. I thought I should tell her then about the fact that I carry a gun with me 99% of the time I leave my house, just in case it would cause problems.
She simply said "Ok".

Re: Struck Gold!
Congrats. I hope it works out for you. The only better response would have been, "So do I."

Re: Struck Gold!
Does she have a sister?
Re: Struck Gold!
That's much better than her finding out the hard way......first big ole' hug......"Honey, do you have some medical condition you haven't told me about? There is a big lump on your side......."
Or the first time you meet up with her after leaving the range....."Honey, that is the strangest cologne.....please don't wear it anymore..."
Or the first time she wants a little drink at the local pub....."Hold on a moment dear, I have to discreetly disarm and secure my weapon before I go in there.."
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! When is the big day? Make sure the wedding location is not posted.......
I can hear the preacher now, "Not only have the bride and groom created their own vows, but in lieu of a ring for her finger, the groom is providing a Bersa Thunder custom fit for her hand........the holster is located in the traditional garter location....."

Re: Struck Gold!
Well, I hope this is the beginning of many happy times together for you two! Perhaps [at least eventually] she would be willing to get her CHL too so you can have the advantages of both of you licensed and carrying.

Re: Struck Gold!
Better than the response I get from my Long Time Ball and Chain...
Her: "Why do you have to carry a gun?"
Me: "Because the bad guys do."
Her: "Oh."
End Scene.
