How does your wife feel about you OC'ing?

[Beau]

My ex didn't really care. She mostly just rolled her eyes every time we went out because I was always armed. Even if we were just running to the local wally world in Beech Grove.

She used to ask me to cover it, until I did some quick training with an airsoft gun. Had her practice drawing from OC and CC a LOT, and then set up some scenarios where I attacked her from about 30 feet.

Real eye-opener.

Only time she asks now is at family functions where we know it will cause arguments that I just cannot win, and in those cases - I agree that it's best.

You would be a hero if you saved one or all of those folks that would argue your right to OC

I do not OC. I have found logic and comfort in Grey Man.
If someone sees it, I am already pointing it at them.

My wife has no problem with me OCing if I choose to do so. (the only time she told me I couldn't OC had nothing to do with my gun!)

Both my wife and l have ccw and when we go out l carrry cc. She does not even question me carrying. I personally do not carry open for the fact that someone might call the cops.
Now when the SHTF that will be a different story.
For any women to question her husbund as to carry or not to carry she does not understand the MANS desirer and GOD give right to protect his family

I agree with the sentiment that when in public with my wife she prefers I cc. However the moor she is around you while you oc the more comfortable she should get. I tend to oc out on my own or while I'm just out and about... if we are going to dinner or on a date I cc.

Why is she giving you an opinion on anything but the time it will take to complete your sammich?

Why is she saying anything? I thought they were not to speak until spoken to.




My wife doesn't care how I carry as long as I carry.

My wife used to be bothered by anyone seeing my gun UNTIL we were in a situation that called for having it. She doesn't complain about it anymore.....ever.

 

[joneser49]

My wife is cool with whatever I do. She is not embarrassed or nervous about my carry methods.

 

[HighStrung]

My wife would rather I CC, especially when I'm with her and the kids. It's more an issue of her not wanting the attention/disruptions that can come with OC. She doesn't complain at all about my guns, or the purchases related to them. I figure if this is her only request, I can agree to that. She's slowly coming around to having an interest in guns herself, but she's not looking to carry for a while. In time, maybe, but till then, she is happy that I do.

Hello
I will add in here. I conceal most of the time but open occasionally especially when cowboy shooting oh the looks. My wife does not say a thing. Last week we went to a Casa's a local pasta place. I put on my Judge in my Blackhawk holster. My shirt did not quite cover it up. Well the girl at the next able kept looking over and staring. My wife was about to say would you please stop ogling my husband I am right here. We heard them tell the waiter I had a gun but nothing happened. Either the waiter or the manager did not care as we were just enjoying a good meal and fine conversation. Long story short my wife does not really care as she knows I am within the law.
Now a little sexist humor. Why would she care if you open carry out in public how long is the chain attached to the stove anyways.

 

[Fargo]

Mine doesn't really care. I normally CC out of personal preference but she could generally care less.

I'm with most of the folk here. My wife carries--sometimes even OC. She doesn't care how I carry. I CC and OC depending on the situation.

 

[WC Deer Hunter]

I was surprised when my wife told me a while back that she prefers OC that way she knows who is carrying around her so she knows who has backup if SHTF. I OC and CC both depending on where we are going and what we are doing. Most of the time cc for me consist of untucking my shirt except my BUG that is always concealed ( my wife says it looks tacky double OC'ing ).

 

[sampo]

she has no problem, it's other people usually. It makes my wife feel safe, she says.

 

[TR1032]

Mine doesn't care how I carry. She just wants to know that I am carrying.

 

[Armed-N-Ready]

Leave it at home ....

I mean your wife of course, you should never go out unarmed.

Seriously, my wife would prefer I CC but with time has gotten use to it when I OC. Never says I word to me when I OC when I go out alone.

 

[canav844]

I've had the same girlfriend for 3 years, not a wife. She'll notice if my shoes are dirty before she'll notice me OCing. She generally doesn't care unless its somewhere I recently mentioned about false arrest cases. I've carried around her family without issue. There are times she has been glad to know I'm carrying.

 

[2cool9031]

I don't often OC but it is my choice...and my wife leaves it up to me.

 

[Denny347]

Never gonna happen. No OC with wifey.

 

[HamsterStyle]

She was asking me if she was of the norm on this or of a minority

Tell her you'll get back to her after your second and third marriages and let her know if she's a minority or not.
