I went to my girlfreinds aunts house for dinner. Everything was good, I finished eating and decided to step out on the porch "smokers lounge" for a smoke. I went into the sideroom where all of the coats are kept to get my carhartt jacket. As I reach out to grab my jacket, my girlfreinds-cousins-daughter (I think) who is 7-8 years old walks up to me and puts some little buzzing thing on my arm, I looked down and said "whatcha got there" she said "a bug" and showed me a little buzzing toy bug. I said very cool and turned and put my jacket on. Well apparently when I did the reaching up motion putting my jacket on or something, this little girl with her eagle eyes sees the bottom of my holster.
Heres how it goes.
Her: Hey, what is that?
Me: what is what?
Here: (she leans in and talks quiet) Is that a gun?
Me: Where, no, that is my cell phone.
Her: Then let me see it.
Me: No, why would you want to see my phone.
At this point I am kind of moveing away tawards the door. She follows me into the main room and from 5 or 6 feet away points at me and I quote "HE HAS A GUN!" infront of half her family, Since many of the people either already knew I carry or where not listening to the little girl, I asked her to please be quiet and go play.
She comes a little closer and leans in and sais "then let meeee seeee it".
I responded with NO and went onto the porch.
She followed me.........
Her: Let me see!
Me: look, will you please just go in there and play with the other kids and let it go for now.
Her grandmother was on the porch and did not know what she was after me for, but quickly told her to go in there and bahave.
So, I walk back in after the smoke and sit on the couch. She comes into the living room and sits next to me.
Her: let me see it. seee-seeee-seeee-seeee-seeee
Me: I told you it's just a phone.
Her: No, Aunt Debbie (my GF's Mom) told me you have a gun.
Me: Look, there is a time and place for everything. You have to be responsible with guns, it wouldn't be very responsible for me to take a gun out and start showing it off with all of these people here now would it?
-Silence, she sat next to me for 5 or 10 Min. I guess thinking about it and then moved on a left it alone for the rest of the time.
So anybody else have any trouble makers point them out.
I tried to handle it the best I could on the spot, I really hadn't figured on anyone seeing it and had been fine for a couple of hours untill her little hawk eyes spotted me.
It wasn't a big ordeal or anything, but she definatly put me in the spotlight
