[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2887267, member: 1535"] My house is my house, I make the rules for that house. Same as someone else does at their house. Myself, I will usually inform my hosts of my weapon first, I just consider it respectful. I have not taken one in a home many times due to a friend or a friends girlfriend or wifes views or comfort level. Its just being respectful. My daughter is in college in a home owned by us but rented to her and her 3 friends from back home that we know very well, some since she was in kindergarten. Its her home and with her and her young girlfriends differing views on things typical of college kids I would not carry into her home and respect her wishes if she were to tell me that a certain roomate is nervous around some one carrying a gun. Thats just me. We're all different. Thankfully tho that isnt the case and if it was my kid would just keep her lips shut about the pistol she keeps in her room thanx to her daddy who wouldnt have his kid gone from home without a weapon (or two) to protect herself. Again, her house her rules. There are friends, relatives, and customers over at my house all the time, a house that is also connected to my shop/office/studio. Most I know very well and some CC and I dont have a problem with it, if I know them. The only problem I have is that in my line of work it is common to come in contact with people of many different views and even a few ex cons and felons. Then we have a whole different problem. I may also some day just have a problem with other guns in my home besides my own and deny entry if I dont want your weapon in my home. My prerogative. You dont like it you dont have to come in to visit or to do business with me. It may also and has a few times been a situation where a friend brings a friend with them that I dont know and I may want to know what all this person is carrying in to my home/business- not just guns but drugs and whatever else. My home, my right, my rules. Dont like it get the F out. Even though I may have guns of my own in my place it is still up to me who comes in and what weapons or drugs or whatever they may have on them when they enter. I have lost a few customers over the years because they didnt want to come to my shop/studio any more to work because I either have a gun on me or store guns there. Waaa, they wont be missed. I have more than enough to keep me busy. Still. Its pretty close minded to me to believe that all of your friends have to agree with your beliefs, just to be your friends. You cant be friends with people with opposing beliefs then its not them who has the problem. I dont have a way to tell what the future holds but with the way things sound like they are headed we not only need to stick together to weather the upcoming 'them vs us' storms and educate those who are un or ill informed, but we are also going to have to be more sensitive and not hateful to the ever increasing numbers of folks who dont share our passion and our exercising of our Constitutional rights. That is what they use against us is a vision of our stubborness and our hillbilly 'by God take it from my cold dead hands' attitudes.
