Armed Guest Etiquette

Guess my view is that if I am not comfortable with someone being armed in my home, I am not comfortable with thtem being in my home at all. I think it takes will to do damage more than any specific tool (likemy kitchen knives or a kettle of hot water). I expect it to work in reverse, too.
 
doctor j, note he asked about etiquette (ie the right thing to do) NOT the law. Following the law can often make you the most well behaved corpse in town.
 
Keep the number of people who know you carry a gun small. I have had more then one person I have introduced to firearms ask me if I have a gun when I stay over. They are glad that I am there. I normally have to let them have a look at it and let them dry fire it. Or go over what hunting guns would serve double duty for home defense.
 
I never tell anyone I'm carrying. Should one go to every store owner and let them know you're carrying in their store? Of course not. If someone were to know and ask me not to bring it into their home, I would respect their wishes or not visit(probably the latter!). I also think that when you carry, it should remain on your person. I wouldn't feel comfortable with my weapon in a suitcase or bag; anything could happen to it.
 
don't ask don't tell....works for me..At my age most people I would stay with don't have children or the reason I am staying is that I can't drive which means I am not carrying...Besides most of them know that I carry and do themselves....If there were children around I would lock in my bag un loaded... bullets elsewhere or with me in a locked room
 
A couple me and the wife visit a lot are antis and they do not mind me carrying. I think that the husband even wanst to get a gun after talking to me.

But tell them beforehand anyhow.
