Before I say anything I should explain this so that it is not taken out of context. I don't have any friends that are "anti" nor is my family, so it's a bit of a mute point.
1. My mom and sister have no problems with it and I do not say anything anything anymore, it's just assumed. I think that my mom is a little happier when I am. My friends, same thing. Everyone else... explain to me again why was over there?
2. If my mom did have a problem with it, I would honor it. I can't chose my family. The rest I can chose.
Frankly it's none of their business.
3. It is if you're in my house. My house, my rules. "In God we trust, all others we
monitor, jam, or deceive." The people that I associate with operate under a blanket agreement that we carry. I will not ask them, I know them, I shoot with them, and I assume that they are. However, I know them, the trust and safety issues have been addressed otherwise they wouldn't be in this group to start with.
If I didn't know someone, then yes, they have to tell me. I do not automatically trust them. It's more of a situational awareness thing than a "micro management" thing. Their safety is secondary to my own or that of my family. I don't assume that someone is safe with a firearm just because they have one. The military and the range has cured me of that. But, this is for people whom I do not know that I did invite into my house... the odds are very very remote. If I was carrying, I was doing it to be safe, why on earth would I go into a house with no guns in the first place?
No. Do you tell people the color of your underwear when you walk into a home?
The next time underwear accidentally (negligent) discharges and kills someone it might be an issue.
All in all, I would avoid this altogether. That's just me, and it is an OPINION, except for the my house my rules part.
