I just got to thinking about it and realized that my whole family has CCW.
My 70 y.o. mother My wife and I My brother and his Fiance. My kids are too young yet. |
|
My mom had a permit long before me, but as an elected official in Idaho I didn't need a permit.
|
|
The wifey just took the class today. Can't wait to take her gun shopping.
|
|
Quoted:
Nope. I'm the only one. Same here. Wish they'd consider joining me. |
|
I am pretty lucky in the aspect that my entire family is full on 2A supporters.
I would hate to have my brother or mother think that our rights are unimportant. |
|
Quoted:
father, my sister and her fiance are ccw instructors. Doesn't get much better than this. |
|
Brother-in-law occasionally.
Father-in-law slightly more often. Otherwise, no. |
|
My permit is on the way and my sister (21) will be getting one soon, now just need to get her a gun picked out
|
|
Me, dad, brother, cousins and uncles. Always taught to protect your own
|
|
Mom almost always
Dad getting more frequent GF - well, at least she keeps one in the car.

|
Quoted:
No. Mom wants her permit but is too lazy to get it. I had to push my mother and wife both to get their asses in the car and go complete their CCW. Both wanted it but always found other shit to do. |
|
I have been for 15-20 yrs, whenever Okla first came out with them.
One of my son-in-laws. Wife soon will be, she's taking the class in Feb. |
|
Quoted:
Wife has permit. Doesn't carry. Kids are too young. Same here. |
|
Almost all of us. It's fun when we go out to race for the seat facing the door.
|
|
At the moment, just Dad and my wife. I know Dad carries regularly, trying to get the wife to do it more (especially while I'm away...) I don't know how often she does, but I reminded her the other day when she was meeting somebody from freecycle/craigslist or something that it'd be a good idea. She agreed.

Mom carries a Ti 5-shot .357 http://www.gunshopfinder.com/smithandwesson/model340PD.jpg Another, my Uncle, is retired LE, FFL, carries whatever he feels like that day. The rest of us live where the sun does not shine. Mom is a bad ass I feel for you all in them states, mine may be next. |

My family thinks gun rights are important, are in the NRA and own guns. The fact that there have been exactly 2 murders in the past 13 years in the town they live in may have something to do with their disinclination to carry. Older folks are hard to convince. Dad has been around for 50+ years and never needed to carry a gun, so he doesn't see the point in bothering with it now. I understand why he sees the world that way, given his location. It would still make me happier if they'd bother to carry. At least he's ready to defend himself in the house. |

Quoted:
Just my wife and I. No one else on either side. Same. |
|
Yes, my father does. He is 78 years old. He doesn't always carry though. Just sometimes. I wish he would always carry, but I can't tell him much.
My BIL used to, but let his license lapse. I think he might renew it though, based on recent discussions with him. |
|
Out of seven kids between two divorced parents only my mom, step sister (local) and brother (who lives in Jersey) do not.
|
|
My brother and I both carry.
My soon to be father in law carries My soon to be wife is going to be carrying as soon as I am financially able to get her a gun. I have been trying to get my mom to carry. She has never shot a gun for some reason but she wants too. My father, I would report his dumb ass if I heard he was carrying. I don't think he is mentally fit to carry a gun. His tin foil was loose for a long time and consequently he is fucking crazy. |

I wonder how many people are carrying when I am grocery shopping or doing other shit in town. I would have to assume that with the amount of robberies and murders reported that one of 2 things is happening:
1. The MSM will not report "A Win" 2. Not many people carry. I know that #1 is accurate. Not sure if #2 is. |

My Ex did/does.
My Sister and BIL took the course, I believe, but don't have permits*, and they don't (that I know of) with any regularity, and only have 1 pistol between the two of them. The BIL actually usually borrows a gun when we go camping, because my sister prefers the Pistol to the shotgun, and won't let him take it with him. They have had cause to need the pistol at their house (no shots were fired, the guy got the idea REAL quick), but they still don't really take it out of the house. (They bought a shotgun after that incident, more so both would be armed than for any other reason) *-They took the class right before we eliminated the requirement to have a permit to CCW. I know a lot of people who dropped their CCW permit at renewal, too. It's not a huge advantage if you aren't buying a lot and want to bypass NICS. |

I know that #1 is accurate. Not sure if #2 is. Probably depends on where you are. Here, #2 is not true. In Phoenix Metro, if you look, you'll find people printing. Quite a few, really. I don't think they're worried about anything more than scaring the tourists. People who notice don't care. It's probably a little more rare in Sedona, Flagstaff, Tucson - those are the liberal bastions. Most of the rest of the state doesn't really bother with CCW. Open Carry is pretty common. |

I have never seen anyone open carry in my state other than my dad. He used to carry his .38 revolver. I also recall that no one gave a shit either. |
