I'd be asking a gazillion questions....

"hey mister, can I have a look at your gun?"

" Do you have a small penis, and this is compensation?"

" Will you shoot me if I dont sleep with you on a first date?'

" You picked the wrong women to kidnap, you'll have to pay them to take me back"

" Did you have to 'borrow' the money for our date?"

id ask to pull his trigger

Probably not his first internet meeting.

Ahhhhh so the OP is the one packin the heat?????

I'd ask him to take me out shooting sometime. Might get a second date for a change.

I'm actually being kinda serious there. I personally support the carry and conceal law so it wouldn't have bothered me in the slightest IF he had it legally. If he carries it normally, I wouldn't want him leaving it home just because it's our first date and he doesn't want to offend me. I want the real deal showing up. If he carries, he carries. I like him or I don't. JMO

That did happen to me on a first meeting. He was riding a motorcycle, so he had on a jacket that covered it. I didn't know about the gun, until the motorcycle ran out of gas and he had to catch a ride to get some gas.

I might want my date to be packin' some heat, but just not that
kind!

yep

I've gone on dates and had a gun, but it was understood from the start that I had it and why. It didn't seem to freak anybody out.

Mines bigger than yours...

Actually i started this topic to be an open one where the person who was carrying was your date be it the male or the female. I do legally carry personally but that has nothing to do with it.

I really just wanted to know how people would react if their date was to carry. If my date was to be carrying I would probably have a few questions like if she had a license or permit to do it? I might even ask if they had permits or licenses from multiple states for reciprocity purposes? What kind is it? I would offer to show her mine if I could look closer at hers. Would probably offer to go to the range together.

I have gone on dates in the past while carrying and it may not even be noticed as I can conceal pretty well. I do not carry to make up for any insecurities of manhood. Nor do I need to commit a crime or borrow money for a date. The fact of the matter is I have gone through the legal checks to be allowed to carry and I do. My carry weapons include a $1100 dollar Custom Kimber Ultra Carry II with Crimson Trace laser Grips and a Smith & Wesson 649 that costs about $800 not counting the $230 crimson trace laser grip I installed on it.

I carry for protection that includes the protection of the people around me from criminal activity as well. I kind of like the idea of knowing I have a way to protect myself and my daughter or possibly a date in case of emergency if we were to venture off our property or into a less then crime free neighborhood.

it depends on where you live,.....a gun? not neccessary, but good mace or bear spray can help you defend your date in chicago, new orleans, or some parts of L.A. otherwise, only a woman should be armed, and at all times, not just on dates. most every woman i've known has been raped between one and four times, and in the most unlikely of places.....arm yourself girls, and learn how to use it!

I don't trust anybody that I just meet that quickly.

Personally, I do have a permit to carry a concealed gun.
And it is a very strict background check here to pass for one.
Also gun classes required.

And yes. I took a gal on a first date before I got the permit or guns.
As I took her home, walking her to the door... and Her Ex.. that I knew nothing of, came running up behind me in the dark and tackled me..needless to say, it was a hell of a fight.


Yes, I would carry a gun on a first date, most likely just a 25 acp. not very lethal, but it would stop them from attacking.

I would save carrying my 44 for a second date

I also do a lot of walking and have been attacked by dogs that were running loose, have the bite scars on my legs to show for it.. so yes, I have started carrying a small pistol when I go for walks.

Scared!!!

Thats ok, I will protect you!! Especially in New York City!! why should only the criminals have guns????

Are you serious, most crimes against women have nothing at all to do with guns.

If you want to be realistic.. be afraid of guy that take a fist on a first date.. The most common crime against women is beatings...And strangulation, and In reality.. any object is more likely to be used as a weapon.
In fact.. at least we have passed the background check!!!
Would you rather date a guy that has never had to pass the background check?????
You would be amazed how many guys have domestic violence charges...
So.. if he is NOT packing a gun, it is a real good chance that he has a violent background!!!

Hey Baby, you wanna know what I'm packin'????
