Concealed carryers

I guess I might be one of those guys with an "attitude", . . . but I figure that if either my Lord, Jesus Christ or my handgun (1911) are not welcome in a person's house, . . . then I really don't want to go there myself.

And I don't go.

May God bless,
Dwight
 
It's none of their business if I carry or not, and if they know and are against it, I really don't care. I carry for my protection and my family, if something was to happen I would be ready. Then maybe the nay sayers would have different point of views on it if their lives were at risk. I carry, it's my right. I am licensed by my state to do so. Now my wife carries also. People don't like it tough. I have had guns pointed at me by deranged drugies and I thought I was dead then. Too many meth heads around where I live.
 
Of course I would. One, they would not know. Two, it is not their concern. Three, if you, or anyone, or anyplace is not responsible for my safety, then I am responsibile for my safety.
 
In my personal experience, I believe that anyone who is close enough to me to invite me over to their house knows my thoughts on our rights and duty to protect ourselves and assumes that I'm armed (and they would be correct).

If I were ever to be invited to someone's house who did not know me well enough to make that assumption, I would inform the homeowner prior to accepting the invitation and - if my concealed gun is not welcome - then, I would decline.
 
Elsie Pea accompanies me everywhere! Clothing capable of concealment of my XD40 Subcompact, it goes along.
It's nobody's business what I have in my pants!!!
 
I usually at least get a feel about whether they are pro- or anti-gun before I tote within their house. I live in a largely liberal city, and while political views between my friends & I may usually differ, I still value their friendships enough to leave my gun in the car. However, if we're meeting anywhere but their house, I carry. Sometimes I'll go with deep concealment so they won't hug my gun.
 
It's funny that "permission" is an issue with some. If a friend welcomes me in their home, I don't need permission to carry. I don't see a need to ask if it's OK if I carry (why bring it up?), however, if I did ask I would then need permission. If I were invited into the home of a friend on the caveat that I disarm myself, then I would go home as I'm not "really" welcome there.

Yes, I will and I do carry at friends houses. Some know and some don't. Most of my friends wouldn't care.
 
I find it a bit amusing,,,

Most of us are staunch supporters of the Castle Doctrine,,,
Meaning our homes are our castles and our word in our castles is law.

But on the other hand a lot of us (not me on this topic) are completely willing to tacitly violate other peoples "castles" by keeping a secret and carrying guns in their castles.

That's very hypocritical in my not-so-humble opinion.

Personally I agree with these two gentlemen,,,
Caboclo: Also, I simply believe it would be wrong on a personal level to carry into another person’s home without their permission.
BarryLee: If we believe in our own personal freedoms and our Castle Doctrines, then we need to extend those same freedoms to others.

I carry almost all of the time,,,
But I don't carry in someone else's home,,,
Without first asking them if it's an okay thing to do.

It's their castle after all.

I wouldnt go to any gathering if i thought i would need a gun. I learned the hard way. And even if you aint drinking they probaly will be and if things get out of control a gun will just make it worse. But its up to you.
 
I carry pretty much always. I see no reason to not carry in order to abide the confused wishes of others.

That said, if I knew for a fact it was a group of anti's, I'd simply avoid the gathering. I know very few people who are anti-gun here, btw.

Do I carry into another's home? It depends.

If I know how they feel on the topic of guns and carrying, I will usually abide by their beliefs on it. If they are ok with guns, I will carry, I know they are not, I leave it in a strong-box in the car.

If I don't know, I probably don't know them that well and likely wouldn't be there. If I happen to someones place whom I don't know well enough, I would probably carry.

Concealed means they will not know I have it, but I still like to respect their opinions, especially in their home.
 
I make sure to bring my smaller CC pistol, the Kahr K9 with Clipdraw. Also necessary to do the 'under the arms' maneuver whenever getting hugged.:cool:

I wouldnt go to any gathering if i thought i would need a gun.

Might want to re-evaluate that thought process. These days a BG just comes out of nowhere and shoots up a mall or church gathering. 99% of the time nothing will happen, but do you want to be unarmed that 1%?
