Got made at a wedding this past weekend...

I feel it was none of his business. I went to a wedding over the weekend and one of the groomsmen was open carrying. They were wearing jeans and cowboy boots. I personally did not have a problem with it. I just figured he was doing it to keep the groom from running off.

heck if I needed to know I'd have up and asked him.  Most of us are pretty receptive to gun talk.

No point in him calling you out to others, IMO just being a show off.  Knowing that he is likely a gun guy, if he wanted to chat you up he should have just approached you and done so.  If I was made I would have no issue with another gun guy, even a not creepy stranger, asking me about what I am carrying.

As far as I'm concerned one of the primary responsibilities at a wedding, in an ancient sense, is to protect the Bride. That's what the Groomsmen especially and the Ushers are for. Being armed in defense of the Bride is . . . well, noble. 

 

If the guy was noticing the threat scenario and bringing it to the attention of the families involved in the marriage, then his goal was also to protect the Bride.

 

IMO

I'm going with dick move because he approached mother of the bride. I love talking guns and would have said something....to YOU. When you were alone or just with your wife I would have been like "what do you carry?" . Then the boring wedding (i find them boring) would have turned into a 2 hour convo about guns and mutual liberal hate. Edited June 23, 2014 by sigequinox

If I let my groomsman wear jeans at my wedding my wife would have taken his gun and shot at our feet like a cartoon with us all scrambling for the nearest suit rental store

What Garufa said.  

  

        Note:  About half the males at my wedding were armed including me, and our average age was about 55.
