Every grown man needs to own a suit for three reasons: court (which you will hopefully never need), funerals (which are hopefully rare), and weddings. It’s these more formal occasions that you also need to evaluate your firearm choice.

Are you being serious?

Yes of course we are. While you can strike ‘court’ from the list, as you should only be carrying there if you are a court officer, weddings and funerals are almost tailor-made for concealed carry musts. They can be very emotional occasions for their own respective reasons. Furthermore, any gathering of people is a target for criminal elements and others. When I worked for the sheriffs department, one of the main reasons for working funeral details was not traffic control for the procession, but in providing a deterrent in the parking lot of the funeral home so mourners did not have their cars broken into.

Then there is always the possibility that there would be those who would violently want to disrupt the event. In a funeral, there can be estranged family or former business partners who come for one last jab. In a wedding, there is the possibility of jilted exes, spurned former mates, and others who could show up with ill will on their mind.

Sadly, shootings have occurred at both weddings and funerals in the United States in recent months. With that aspect to think of, would you rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it?
