So, I got my concealed carry permit and my gun to carry, and now my mom is on my case bigtime. She hates guns and she's decided I haven't read enough "anti-gun" scriptures or something. When she found out I wanted to own a gun, she told me precisely how "unsafe" those things are and how if I really cared for my children I wouldn't put them "in danger". Every time I get excited about something gun-related and she finds out, I can expect a lecture. My mother-in-law is the same way only worse and with fewer scriptures. I feel like I can't share my happiness with them at getting my concealed carry permit. My dad is only OK with guns. He's all for 2nd Amendment rights, but finds it in extremely poor taste to actually, you know, exercise them.
If you have parents or other family members who are anti-gun, how do you deal with it? Do you just cut out that part of your life when telling them about what's new? Do they come to accept you for who you are and just agree to disagree about guns?
