Having spent most my summers as a kid in central Texas(Brownwood/Golthwaite) and going to a LOT of BBQ's(including our own cooked in a literal pit covered with a wagon)....I never felt the need to be armed!lol! A few BBQ's I would have liked to have shot the pitmaster for ruining a perfectly good brisket....but for no other reason!lol! Probably better I wasn't armed....

Never heard of that term before. But I only lived in Texas for a year and a half. In Austin. Which is as “normal” as Texas gets. I did bring my 20 gauge Mossberg pump to a July 4 BBQ just outside of town tho. The more liberal than I homeowner thought is was good that his neighbors heard gunfire coming from his property.

Didn't see any rule against it.
So here's another.

I don't really have anything that would qualify as a legit BBQ gun. But toss on some "going out tonight" grips & I might get by.

I'd say we're all familiar, just lacking in the requested variety. When everyone else posts their "real BBQ guns" the mods can feel free to delete my fake ones.

I took my Shield to Dickey’s one time.

2A was "political" when it was first adopted.
Here in COmmierado ( Denverish and surroundings), my "barbecue gun" is a well-hidden Detective Special in an ankle rig.
At one affair, though, I was seated near the guest of honor and one photograph showed where the holster was peeping out from my pants cuff. I didn't even notice it in the picture until a couple of years had passed.
But I guess it would have looked like an ankle monitor if anyone had noticed it.
I mean, nobody would dare bring a "GU-UH-nn" to an affair like that, right?
I mean, what do you think, this is still the Wild West?
Most of my guns are just regular shooters and might show various badges of honest and faithful duty afield, at the range, and in daily carry.
That is their pride.

Hmmmm...for you youngins...
(Urban Dictionary)
Functional guns (sometimes, heavily modified for better accuracy/reliability/etc) that might have some custom engraving, polishing, or custom grips.
In the revolver days (before semi auto pistols) a church gun/BBQ gun was a normal firearm as described above. After the semi-auto pistols arrived on the scene this term applied to mostly Colt 1911's. Current times this can apply to any firearm that has custom work designed to enhance mainly appearance and, much of the time - functionality.
Also known as a "Church gun," a "Court Gun," or "the 4th of July gun" (in Wyoming) for obvious reasons.
"I'm wearing my BBQ gun to the wedding."
"He's wearing his Sunday best and his BBQ gun."
"The Sheriff showed up to court wearing his BBQ gun."
Gotta love them BBQ Guns....
