Man, Jim (SeamusTX)is on a roll. He is saying exactly what I would tell this young man, so I won't repeat it.

I will however say that if your family would freak out to the point that they would no longer continue to support you and your further education then they have serious problems and you probably need to take care of it yourself anyway. I would not be held hostage on a decision that I am fully capable of making on my own as a grown, free man.

I have never told my Mom that I carry; not that she would freak out but the conversation has never come up. I'm pretty sure she knows, she's felt it when exchanging hugs and my brother knows I carry everywhere. She's never asked and I've never offered.
