Conceal carry women: if you were taking your kids to a nature hike for a walk with another adult, would you ask if they’re comfortable with you bringing your gun or would you just bring it without saying anything?

I know people who carry guns with them and we don’t hang out unless they don’t bring their firearm with them.

Good for you, for protecting your kids! I’d say to let her know, no need to ask. And that just for safety reasons

I’d give her a heads up so that’s she’s informed :)

I would tell them beforehand and let them make their choice! I would never hang out with someone with a gun.

I conceal carry so no one actually knows or sees it so I never usually say anything

I don’t live in an open carry state (I believe Minnesota is open carry) so I’m not sure if it’s the same social etiquette as my state.

Generally they should know if you cc, but after that point you’re not obligated to disclose each and every cc, but of course you should always respect a friends request not to open cc around her.

I personally wouldn’t say anything bc it’s going to be concealed. Now if they happen to see it and aren’t comfortable with it, you can have a conversation after. Or you could tell them before you go, but if they try to tell you, they can’t go unless you don’t bring it then I wouldn’t even go.

I’d say something. Both parents deserve to be on same page if there’s a weapon nearby. If there were an emergency both adults need to know imo and if you for some reason had a medical emergency it would be wise that the other adult know you had a weapon on you for the kids safety

I would appreciate knowing.

I’d say, asking makes it sound like your willing to not carry. If that’s not the case, pre warn about the fact that you will be carrying, and respect if they back out from the plans 🤷‍♀️

I always carry where permitted

I’m not asking another grown woman permission to protect my children & myself

I’m trained and licensed to carry, and it’s no ones business whether I am or not. That is the point of it being concealed.

No judgement but coming from Europe I think I'd rather not know 😂

When we moved to the south I figured out pretty quickly that a lot of people carry so I got use to asking people that I was meeting up with (when my kids were with me) if they had guns. Mostly if we were coming over to their house, idk if I’ve ever asked while doing a play date or meet up in a location that wasn’t home. I still ask about guns if the kids are going to a new house.

Blows my mind that this is a thing lol we don’t have this type of dilemma in the uk ..I don’t know what the proper etiquette for it is, but it’s very interesting to see what different women are saying about it 😊

I would appreciate knowing, because personally I don't like guns so I wouldn't feel comfortable having my children around one.

It really depends on where you live how this question will be answered so I wouldn’t be able to give a set answer. Currently, I do carry but I wouldn’t even think it was an issue ti say anything because of where I live.
