The whole gun thing is weird...Hmmmmm, "maybe if I show her this she'll think I'm a bad boy and all chicks love bad boys right?"
But see with bad boys, you know from the jump that they are bad, it's the quiet "nice" guys you have to look out for.
I'm seeing a consistent theme about bad dates showing off the big guns.
I'm seeing the same trend here...and I don't know what the deal with some dudes and guns is??
I've been in law enforcement 17 years. I NEVER pulled out any of my guns in front of a date..of course, I only was dating my future wife, but still...and of course, I did live by myself, but my college buddies would come by all the time (I was a cop near where I went to school) and I wouldn't pull anything out. Oh yeah, and I WAS/AM a SWAT guy....oh yeah, and a senior firearms (pistol, rifle, submachine gun, shotgun) and tactical instructor for my agency.
I go out of the way to keep my weapons stored/secured/locked/concealed. If I'm wearing it (which is a lot, I"ll admit), it's concealed quite well. If I'm at home, it's locked in the safe or it's in a place where my 2 year old can't reach it or get to it--which by the way, are becoming fewer and far between. To my knowledge, he's never even SEEN my gun(s).
My wife knows how to safely operate each one of the weapons in my safe, and has one of her own, which stays in the safe.
Why some guys INSIST on showing EVERYONE what they "got stashed" is beyond me. Makes them feel macho I guess.
I attribute it to professionalism![]()

Don't know but I would sense that it is the same compulsion that made you feel the need to tell us all about your guns and connections with said weapons and safeguards and times when worn and times when not worn and about your wife's guns and so on and so on and so on.
It's a power thing. Always has been always will be. Nothing wrong with it as long it is only a private obsession and not used in negative ways. I personally have never owned one and only fired them when I was in the military. Other than there I have never felt the need. Hence, any of the stories mentioned in the thread that involved some guy flashing his gun on a first date...did not involved me.![]()

FERNDALE, Mich. -- Police say a first date went from bad to worse when a Detroit man skipped out on the restaurant bill, then stole his date's car.
Twenty-three-year-old Terrance Dejuan McCoy was bound over Thursday to face trial in Oakland County Circuit Court on a charge of unlawfully driving away the woman's car, a five-year felony. McCoy waived a preliminary exam in the case.
Police say McCoy dined with the 27-year-old Southfield woman April 24 at Buffalo Wild Wings in Ferndale.
The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak reports the woman told police McCoy said he left his wallet in her car and asked for her keys. He then sped away in the 2000 Chevrolet Impala.
Police identified McCoy using a photo he earlier sent to the woman's cell phone, as well as his phone number.
Ive been on worst dates.
