Question about safety vs being rude?
Why so serious?
IzzieK wrote: Does anybody here ever read all the responses in this post or do they respond only to the post before theirs? Please read carefully -- I did not say "open carry". I said "conceal carry". Safety is first and foremost as far as I am concerned about this situation. It is far better to be safe than sorry...if this sentence is not already a cliche...'nuf said.
I saw that you said a concealed. But if I had booked a session with someone I felt I needed to be armed, then I would have never booked it. I am used to living in Arizona, and carrying in the open, and most people are used to seeing people carry. So me showing up to a session with a sidearm would be sort of unusual, but not totally out of place in the area. I have gone to weddings with my sidearm on. The only place I was never allowed to carry was is in my work truck, and on job sites. The first is because of Federal Regs regarding commercial trucks, ans that I used to work on the native reservations. On job sites it is the general rule, though about 90% of us had firearms in our personal vehicles on site. But I digress.
So I am with everyone in that bringing an assistant is not unusual to people. So they will not be offended, as long as that is all they see them as. You do not want your assistant having that guard dog mentality.
