So, I just got done talking to both rents on the phone. They seem to support my idea 100%. I gave them everything about becoming a CHL holder and how responsible we are. They understand clearly where I'm coming from and where they came from.

BTW, I didn't mention this earlier, but I'm planning on going into the law enforcement after I'm done with this college semester. I'm looking into DFW International Airport Law Enforcement. I have talk to one of the LEO there and he said they are under staff right now. It's also a good advantage for my part since I'm Viet and they need more people with ethnic background. So it looks like I am going to apply there soon. Gonna try to enter into the academy and start my 6 months training asap.

I think I made a thread back a couple months ago about becoming a law enforcement officer. FYI now it's true...

I would however include the On Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs story from the link below. That in itself sums it all up. If they still dont get it then tell them to pratice in front of a mirror saying "BAAAA..."

Very good reading. Might forward this story to my parents...

Thank you all for the advice. My parents are very anti-gun to the max. I think the best solution at this time is to let things run its course. If they happen to call me again and talk about my issue of having a gun, then I'm going to tell them straight up about how I feel about it. It's good that I don't see my parents everyday because they are living in Houston, while I'm currently staying in the Arlington/Grand Prairie area. I'll give ya an update later to see how thing works out.

Over the weekend, my parents found out I carry a gun. They slept over at my apartment, so I guess they got nosy and start snooping around my closet and my drawers when I was in the shower last night. Well, they went home this morning acting normal. Until an hour ago, I got a phone call from my parents and they are mad I carry a gun. My parents told me to go sell it and get rid of it. Boy did that made my day. They didn't want to talk about it anymore, so they hung up the phone. So, I'm sitting here thinking, they must be crazy if they think I'm getting rid of my only CCW. Good luck with that. Time add fuel to the flame and start another gun debate. I have an idea how to approach this situation, but I would like some extra help from ya fellas here. So what would ya guys do?

Background Info:

My parents fled the Vietnam War when the communist took over. My parents been here for almost 30 years. I was born in a small town of Orange, TX. Both of my parents are Americanized and citizens of this country, but they are still in the time where they think guns is bad. I got put on a spot and froze up. How would you approach this situation if you were in my shoes?
