Carried at my son's wedding. Best I could tell was that me and the Preachers were the only ones. I will not carry at my own funeral because I am going to be cremated.

Carry at a funeral
So a few weeks ago I had to attend my son’s grandmother on his mothers side (one of the ex-wives) and asked my wife to attend with me and she said ”NO” and I didn’t respond other than ok, well the day of she‘s like where are you going, why are you all dressed up like you going to a funeral.…..lol If I didn’t love her but she can’t remember a thing. We got into a heated adult conversation and then when she saw me pick up my EDC she was like “ you’re not carrying at a funeral” I’m like really, I’ll see you when I get back.
Now I say yes because we got divorced in 1993 and my son is 32. While I will know people attending there will be others I do not know. So sorry not sorry for carrying.

I always carry at a funeral! I remember a time a while back where there were a lot of robberies at funerals in NYC. Funerals were typically followed by a gathering where the friends and families would meet, and food was provided. Everyone shows up to the funeral with nice jewelry, watches, etc....maybe to show off to the rest of the relatives afterwards, (who knows).
Well, thieves realized this too. I remember a spate of armed robberies by gangs happening at the cemetery. Luckily none of those grieving got shot. Learned something from that. I always carry, even at funerals.

I want that gun because he's not going to need it anymore! Ain't no gun vault following no hearseI won’t be offended if you carry at your funeral!!
The people who would come for me know I'm armed.
Absolutely..carry at a funeral
Funerals seem to be a big hot spot for gang bangers lately. Personally; I carry until I get in the shower, or the pool. "Gun Free" zones can kiss my cat. Most know that I work for CBP, so I have few travel restrictions. But, JFK, LAX, and ORD, I have marked units meet me at baggage claim.
I'm not looking to hurt anyone's feelings, but; I don't intend to be token collateral. It's not open for discussion for me.

I can understand that, you don't want to ruin a good gun. But at the very least you should have a few M80's stashed on you, don't want to waste a good opportunity for some fun when you're gone.Carried at my son's wedding. Best I could tell was that me and the Preachers were the only ones. I will not carry at my own funeral because I am going to be cremated.
For the second group, you might consider wearing body armor as well.My wife and I went to both of my daughter's maternal grandmother's and maternal grandfather's funerals and burials, as I knew both of them well before I met the Ex, and out of simple respect for my daughter.
Some of the Ex's family hugged me and thanked me profusely for coming,
while others were cold and gave me "if looks could kill" stares.
Yes, I carried...
Last one I went to was downtown in an area where a month prior a shooting occurred at the funeral home. I had my G19 and 2 spare mags. When somebody asked if I was carrying, I said of course. When they asked why, I just looked at them and asked them why they weren't. When I go to Indy I trade my .45 Ronin with 1 spare mag in for the G19 with 2 spares every single time.
Unless I have to go through a metal detector or pat down I carry. Concealed means concealed.
Yeah buddy 😎
I go nowhere unarmed. Period.........if it is a locale that requires disarming , I won't go unless absolutely necessary. If that becomes the case............well then regardless of opinions." better tried by 12 than carried by 6"........anyone here want to be in Camden N.J. unarmed?
Since I live in a Constitutional carry state I don't have to maintain permits , but I do specifically for the aspect of travel.
The opportunistic nature of current crime trends has been highlighted as per funerals. Now expand that , ever think about how much money is on the ground ( so to speak) at a high end stock or equine sale? Hows about the amount of money walking into the Preakness , Belmont or the Derby? During Mardi Gras or the Super Bowl?
And then there is the tourist that takes a wrong turn on the way to Yosemite and ends up in Stockton , the winery event in Napa that gets hit by a buncha dirtbags from Richmond , other tourists that go across the wrong bridge and expected Marin county but get Oakland yeah get down there by the Coliseum in your rental car. Go ahead.
Business trends are towards disarmament. Not going much into personal stuff , lets just say I recently came close to sending a major hotel management chain packing over this issue. Their initial act ticked me off , then when they threatened to attempt to get that locale deflagged it backfired on them and the Texas Cajun came out.........and it was pointed out that not only was the revenue for that locale on the line , the revenue from several other locales was on the line. Go way over their head and point that out and it tends to trickle back down , and I reinstated the employee and there isn't jack they will be doing about it.
When you're a Santa Barbara hipster you don't get tell on of my people that's been with that location for five years and whom is CCW legal ( permit) that she can't carry when working a night audit shift in freaking Memphis.
And this sort of **** is the trend.

if you need to justify EDC, including at funerals, just do a web search on "shooting + funeral" (simple Boolean search) and you will see far too many responses that justify carrying at these kind of events. Add Church in for funeral and even more search returns will populate. Also notice that a large majority of the 'incidents' are in Dem run cites, so if you happen to be unlucky enough to live in one of those cesspools, it seems that carrying at either location/ event is a prerequisite.

Oh boy , don't get me started in respect to crime rates in those cities versus their overall completely ridiculous firearms and self defense statutes.
well not just that aspect but if you back out those City/ State, gun incidents, including wounded and dead from the national average, the US becomes one of the least problematic countries, worldwide. Some would argue that 'they' are manufacturing the problems they're hoping to pass gun legislation to stop, and that the most extreme legislation in those areas, does nothing to curb the incidents or deaths- as it likely comes down to a problem of permissive environment and behavior of a small % of citizens from all backgrounds, causing a significantly disproportionate number of 'incidents' and deaths.Oh boy , don't get me started in respect to crime rates in those cities versus their overall completely ridiculous firearms and self defense statutes.
EXACTLY correct. Baltimore , St Louis , New Orleans , LA and SF along with Oakland , NYC , Camden and Trenton , Philly , Detroit , Chicago.well not just that aspect but if you back out those City/ State, gun incidents, including wounded and dead from the national average, the US becomes one of the least problematic countries, worldwide.

And in some of those the crime runs a wwiiiidddeeee swath of territory , the Bay Area as an example the East Bay from Richmond and Vallejo all the way down to Hayward.
Back when I was a cop in the Dem city of Oakland in the 70's, population percentage of a certain minority was about 32%. Yet that third of the population was responsible for a disproportionate 60 to 90% of crime, depending on category. All the free or subsidized housing, welfare, food stamps, subsidized utilities, healthcare, job training programs, catch and release, none of it has improved a thing. Just the opposite. The citizens who lived in the more opulent "Oakland Hills" paid the most property taxes and got the least police service - their assigned beat cop was often down in the flatlands helping out in the high crime areas.
Maybe it's time try reparations, that should help.

Nationwide, 13% of that minority group commits over 50% of the crimes in this country.Back when I was a cop in the Dem city of Oakland in the 70's, population percentage of a certain minority was about 32%.

i like your “paying reparations” idea except they should be paid to the 68% part of the Oakland population.
... was this lady in the mob? LOL. I fully support your right to carry but the choice to carry at an old woman's funeral isn't a hill worth dying on (no pun intended).Like they say, ‘you never know’. Any large gathering is a potential target
