Of all the heroes a child can have, a good parent is the best.
You're doing well, funky monkey.

Thanks Venus...

lol, thanks...

By the way,
We have solved this problem. Blake has been licensed by daddy to carry his own CH. He has a lime green, transparent .50 cent watergun, that he gets to carry in his pocket. He has a little 5 dollar clearance table nylon pocket holster for a Lorcin .380 he carries it in. He has not pulled it out once and is quickly losing interest. By the end of tyhe year, I think he could care less, half the time now he forgets it at home and doesn't realize it until we are halfway down the road.

He now understands that it is daddy's job to "blast the bad guys" if someone tries to hurt us. His job is to hide somewhere behind me. We have practiced this part. It is good that we did because it made me realize, when we get into a crowd or scary situation, like at the haunted house last night, he always goes to my right side and gets real close. That's the gun side so you can obviously see the problem. It is proving easier to train a dog to stay on my left then it is to train him. He has a hard head I tell you, wonder where he gets that from...

This is what I submitted to Reader's Digest...

Hello,
My name is [Brass Monkey] and I have an amusing yet true experience to share. I am a State of Texas Concealed Handgun Licensee. One of the laws pertaining to holding a license is that a license holder may not "Intentionally" fail to conceal his/her handgun. This is an accurate account of an experience I had while standing in line at a very large, upscale mall in Frisco, TX. (Just north of Dallas) a couple of weeks ago. My 4 year old son's name is Blake.

Blake to Police Officer: "Can I see your gun?"
Police Officer to Blake: "Guns are not for little boys son..."
Blake to Police Officer: "My daddy's is bigger."
Police Officer to Blake: "Really?" (In a half laughing sorta way)
Blake to Police Officer: Lifts up daddy's shirt and shows the Police Officer, "See?"
Daddy: Begins the process of having a heart attack, knowing he is about to go to jail and have Blake taken away from him forever...
Police Officer: Doubles over laughing as did half the people in line...

I am starting to dread the day I get in very big trouble. All I can do is hope for the best. Oh, and his Chipmunk came in :-) He turns 4 next Friday and he gets it then.

He handles my pistols whenever he wants. All he has to do is ask. He does not know where they are kept though. still to little. He cannot rack the slide on the Glock nor the Kimber, but he can certainly operate both triggers.

I really need to find a good safe... Cash is not always available though.

And the cop, I think he has a few grandchildren. Never came up, but just a feeling.

So we are at Stonebriar today. Standing in line next to a cop. Frisco?

Blake: Can I see your gun?
Cop: Guns are not for little boys, son...
Blake: My daddy's is big
Cop: Really? (In a half laughing sorta way)
Blake: Lift up daddy's shirt and show the cop, "See?"
Daddy: Begins the process of having a heart attack...
Cop: Doubles over laughing as did half the people in line...

Doh!!!
