Would You Carry At A Funeral?

I carry wherever I like. Of course I have exemptions that allow me to carry in places others might not be allowed to, but I'm not going to have a badge forever either. But when that day comes, I don't see myself changing any of my habits.
 
Just asking the question is evidence the anti-gun types and media have affected the attitudes of many.
Some fantacize that just because an individual (honest citizen) is entering a certain type of place or event they will suddenly go nutso and shoot everyone in sight.
If it is legal, do it. And conceal with discretion.
 
Blue Laws & Risk

Massachusetts retains blue laws from the Plymouth Bay Colony that requires able bodies men to arrive at church WITH their long guns. All men were considered militia soldiers and needed to be armed.

I've been in church (2004) when a non-member interrupted services and approached the minister directly on the altar, coming within 3 feet. It was an "Oh sh*t" moment for me 25 pews back. No harm was done. The minister diffused the situation with intellect. Afterwards, the minister asked "Guys, could I get a little help next time? I spoke to this guy's wife afterwards and he's suffering from mental illness. She apologized for the family."

Since that day, I don't feel anything but "obligated" to carry in church.
 
I recently went to a relatives funeral carrying. He was a long time hunter and there has always been guns in my family. There were plenty of firemen and LEOs at the funeral as he had been the local fire chief for years. My grandfather gave my grandmother a shotgun for their wedding. Back in 1917 they pretty much relied on their hunting skills to put food on the table.

Of course I would, I have, and I do. Think about it: We carry firearms in order to do all we can to put off our own funerals for as long as possible. Do you have a CCW piece, and yet, there are times you just don't want to carry it? Hey...it's your funeral.;)
 
Yeah. I just carried at my Dad's funeral on Saturday. Dammit, I miss my Dad.

Man, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my Dad a couple of years ago and although you don't get over it you do get past it.
 
Provided it is legal to do so I will, and have done so. I carried at my grandma's funeral a few months ago. Though it was at the cemetery, and it is a private cemetery for my family. If there are signs prohibiting carry I will lawfuly abide by them, and will attend the funeral anyway.
 
Due to my personal beliefs I do not attend funerals.

If I did though I know I would be carrying. Somehow I made it out of the house without my pistol, I felt naked the rest of the day.
