I've been playing soccer in a league near where I work for the past two years so for the most part everyone is on good terms and knows each other and treats it as an after work thing. Competitive but friendly.There was a mouthy new player the other week, that was disrespectful(swearing and dick slaps) to the ref, game, and (teammates and opposing) players. I gave him a fair (yet somewhat physical) tackle and he looked at me and said "Fuck you, don't make me grab my .45 from the car". I was shocked and replied "you think I deserve to die because of what you perceive as a dirty play".I pulled myself out of the game not because I was scared of him but because of what I may do. He continued to talk from the field as I was one the sideline towards me. I had my EDC 9mm, my 12g and .270 in my trunk locked up after shooting during lunch on a friends property. I told the ref at half time and left. Sent an email to management and fwd'd that email to contacts in PD.I highly doubt that he would have ever actually pulled a gun but chose to remove myself from the situation. I had two friends shot and killed growing up(one was a stray and the other was a genuinely mentally ill parent) so I take gun violence very seriously. I also hunt very often so I'm aware of what a fire arm can do to flesh.It's been about a week and I still dont know what to think about it or whether or not I should keep playing there. It's not worth the stress in my book I grew up playing pick up played a year of collegiate and then rec leagues since with a few threats of violence but nothing like this.Edit: I don't talk about my guns with people and shoot/hunt with a pretty small circle of trusted friends and co-workers. My girlfriend doesn't even know that I carry in the car because there's no benefit. The idea of letting people know (even non-threateningly) where and what I carry seems like a terrible idea for a multitude of reasons. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/2q7gbkL
