That's about what happened when I told my Chicago family I held a CCW permit. Jaws hit the floor, and my uncle saw fit to pull me aside for a lecture on how real black men "didn't own or use guns, because guns are tools of the white man to hold down brothers." I resisted the urge to laugh, bit my tounge, and dropped the subject until I left.
I envy you guys who got taught about guns by the knees of your elders. If my family knew I hold an NRA membership I'd be disowned.
