    This is exactly why I open carry in my gym.

    No one's taking my weights when I'm lifting.

    Oh you big man, you!

    last night I walked up to two guys benching.

    i waited till one was done his set and asked the one standing how many sets they had left and smiled.

    he said one.

    I said great, thank you, and stood off to the side.

    He wiped down the bench for me when they were done and said all yours and have a good workout.







    imagine that.

    I was sharing weights with 3 different guys tonight over the course of my strength training, all were approachable, i didn't ask to share just asked first guy if i could have after him, he suggested sharing between sets he was doing, then one of his mates later saw me looking for another weight and he offered to share! 3rd one i just asked if i could have his bench after, he'd just started so he offered to spot me whilst he was resting and we shared the bench!

    Clearly they were all inconsiderate meatheads? However if i had not taken the first step, they wouldn't have known i wanted to use the equipment!

    You must have been open carrying.

    Or maybe your gym is in Bizarro World.

    To be fair, they were probably scared of you. You are one intimidating lady. :bigsmile:

    Carrying your gun where people can see it (ex: on your hip in a holster).

    In the gym?
    A completely unnecessary, douchy way of compensating for whatever insecurities one might have. Also a potential hazard, and highly likely to make other people in the gym very uncomfortable.

    Because its totes justified to cap a fool for trying to take your 10 pound plates.

    Report it to the manager. The employees should be on the lookout for that kind of thing. Or change gyms.

    To be fair, here it can also mean drinking vodka or something out of a cup. That might be fun in the gym, or maybe that's just me :D

    When I go to the gym I bring a crossbow.

    I tell the guys that work there that it's part of my crossfit box's journeyman program.

    But those dudes in the gym know that if they even LOOK at my weights (by which I mean the weights that I'm using at the moment, because of course it's not actually my property, it's the Gym's property, and the others are paying members) I will punch a hole in their throat with a barbed bolt.

    And yes, I'm serious.

    I've only had to fire one shot, a warning shot. I had my spotter say "send it!" when I was ready.
