Even though I can be quite sentimental, I have never given a name to a gun, car or any other inanimate object. I will only give a name to something if it will come to me after I call them. If I ever own I boat, I will probably make an exception to that rule. :cool:

There have been times when I let her know that Elsie(LCP) or Springer(SA XD40 sub) is with us.

A lot easier than saying "yes honey, I have my gun with me."

Not sure I ever understood the concept of announcing to ones companions that they are armed.

I take that back... I have said... "Oh crud, they have metal detectors to go along with that 30:06 sign. I need to take my gun back to the truck".

She doesnt really like that I carry and our rule is that I dont tell her when I am.
However, on rare occasion, when we are in certain circumstances, she does want to know.
That is when the names come into play.

I'm in Birmingham at the moment but when we get back, we need another 50' of garden hose and some more Wal-Mart sacks and we are there!

Once the sacks get full...I dunno' ? :headscratch
