Did he say why he felt the need to bring a gun to a first date? That's crazy. Someone you never met before for a date will almost never be comfortable with a gun in the open like that.
He said he always carries a gun. He said he is paranoid about shootings. It was conceal carried, not that that made me feel any better about it -- I would not have known he was carrying a gun except for the fact that he told me. He mentioned the CA shooting which just happened, that it was at a bar (like the bar we were at). I knew, thanks to Hubski, enough about the shooting to know that there was a "good guy with a gun" inside the bar when the shooting happened and that person still got shot and killed and was unable to stop the shooting. I did not feel the need to mention that at the moment, however, as I was not there in an attempt to convert someone to my way of thinking and did not think I'd be successful at it anyway.
