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.

I call my EDC pistols, Arabic Thugs

street names, each that does fit with its size and mission.

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 get it now. You have to admit that it is funny she doesn't mind it so much when she feels ya'll are in a threatened situation.
