So after I applied for my HCP, my wife decided to get hers, too. I got her a gun of her own and took her to the range where she did quite well - 5 inch groups at 10 yards first time out. She was naturally proud of herself and told several of her friends about it. Well... She calls me today and says one of her friends, really her best friend, came over and asked if we actually had guns in the house. Seems that her husband has decided that their son is not allowed to come over anymore as long as we have guns in the house. She also asked where the guns are kept (locked in a safe) and if the ammunition was kept separate. My wife told her the ammo is kept separate, failing to mention that, well, of course the guns in the safe are loaded and there are loaded spare mags with them. Oh, and of course there is this one I keep on my hip, it is loaded also... Hope that isn't a problem.... She told me she doesn't think her friend feels too good about the whole thing. Oh well, making her friend feel good is way down on my list. In fact, I don't even think it is on the list, come to think of it. Fortunately, I have a Really Good Wife, and she is on board with my way of thinking, so it isn't an issue. I'm sure most here have run into this sort of thing. I will say that this attitude is a bit new to me, as it isn't a common way of thinking back up in the hills of East. Tn where we are from from.

45 days since I fingerprinted...

Was he in favor of banning LE from possesing handguns in parks or urban areas, also?

Keep us posted. Since you guys are right ahead of me, I'll be watching to see when yours arrive.

Sad but true. TN is surprisingly anti-gun.

I'm at 40 days. Getting very anxious.

Congrats! Did mine on 10/20 and have been anxiously checking the mailbox every day. Probably still have a while to wait.
