A liberal friend who is, apparently gun phobic, was at my house for a smallish gathering. Another guest was the wife of a police detective. Her husband came over as soon as his shift ended. Still in his three piece suit. When he removed his jacket, you could see his holstered gun and badge. The friend didn't say anything that night and stayed for another hour, but apparently told many people how inappropriate it was for a Marine (former active and now reservist), police detective, and firearms instructor to not have gone home to change. I let the friend know that even if he had gone home, the detective would have been carrying concealed when he came over and I have no problem with that. Guess who's no longer welcome at my house when any of my many law enforcement friends are invited.
