Flip it! Flip ‘em all the bird!

Naw; it’s Christmas so go, conceal, go eat, and be the bigger man. If anybody gets snooty or acts the fool....then flip ‘em the bird and adios.

This honestly sounds like a trap to allow you to be honey-potted into a heated argument, lending truth to be the person your ex is probably telling everyone you are. I would either not go, or politely keep my trap shut.

If I was separated from my wife, there is no way I would go to a family dinner where she was attending.

Come to that, I wouldn't go anywhere she was, with the possible exception of joint counseling. And then only if I thought the marriage could be saved.

You don't think they'll still go back to Cali and be anti gun regardless?

I'm sure they will, but is it really a good message to send back with them?
I had a few drinks with some very liberal people in Portland a couple years back and after a bit, they asked where I was from. I told them and soon after the subject of guns was brought up. I let them know I was pro 2A and often carried concealed while out and about. After having discussed the subject for a bit, we still mostly didn't agree, but we both kept having a good time and came away with a different opinion of each other.
I wasn't trying to shove the right to bear arms down their throats, I was letting them see that not all gun owners are crazy rednecks waving a rebel flag.
We had a mutual respect for each other, and I believe that's the only way to really begin to get along and make things happen.

Unfortunately civility is going the way of the dinosaur!! Need a group fighting for civility on the scale of the NRA!!

Yes I agree if they're capable of being level headed and respectful in return

There's one family gathering I go to where they give you shat if you're not carrying.
