Why is it “showing off?”
You sound more like my sourpuss, cynical step-father than a man grounded in his roots.
It’s not a matter of arrogance or pride. It’s a matter of exercising a RIGHT. It’s my RIGHT to do this.
I probably am like him. You sound like a headstrong son-in-law that won't listen to reason. Your actions will have MORE "No Guns Allowed" signs popping up. More Gun Free Zones because he/you don't want to practice CCW.
