If you think so, why?  I'm a firm believer in "concealed means concealed", personally.

In some states it's illegal to do so without permission. They would have to be notified in order to give you permission.

What they don't know won't hurt them.



I also believe you should respect their home. If they don't want you to CCW there either don't or don't go there.



Frankly anyone that wouldn't want me to carry isn't someone I'd want to associate with anyways.

My exwife use to get upset when I'd carry while  at friends houses or at her relatives.  Our friends and her relatives just expected me to be carrying and were more surprised when I didn't carry.  I thought it was funny that her family was ok with me carrying in thier homes.  The ex still has a phobia about it when I go pick up my kid, even after 15 years.

This.

Usually ackward telling someone on may chat with once a year, ''hey btw I'm sporting a Glock Model 19, two spare magazines and a Kahr P380 with reload), you down with that cousin?"

That said I don't visit relatives I don't politically agree with, so it is a moot point.

Providing you don't take it out, why do your personal belongings affect anything or intrude on anyone? No different than a condom in your wallet...doesn't make you a rapist, nor should you have to apologize or ask permission for it being on you.



But, some people have different viewpoints on this. Pussies, mainly.

Most of my friends and family are fine with guns. For the minority that is wary of guns, I carry anyways. I don't tell anyone I am carrying.

I do it all the time.  The only time I don't is if I know I'm going to be playing with a bunch of kids.  I don't know why but kids love to jump all over me, in that case I leave it in the car.

As long as you keep it on your body, no.
But if you plan on leaving it in your coat or lay it in a closet telling is the right thing in order to prevent misunderstandings, the last thing you want is for someone to find it and think it is a toy.

THIS...

Quoted:
no more than a pocket knife would be.  why is a gun considered so inherently evil you must ask permission?

If you invite me over, you get all the gear I regularly bring, my glasses, my farts, etc


I carry whenever possible. I fly commercially a couple of times a week, but unless I am in a TSA secured area... I carry.

I discretely ask the head of household for their permission first.

No one has refused me yet.

(They all know me as a "gun person" anyway.  I just ask them "do you have a problem with me carrying in your home" as a courtesy).

Respect people's homes.  If they might have a problem with it, ask them or just don't do it.  If they have demostrated that it's not a problem, go for it.

Just throwing this out there, and I know this is fucking sacrilige (sp) here, but someone's views on guns really shouldn't be the extent of our determination as to whether they are decent people and worth associating with.

If they dont know you well enough to know that you carry then they arent a real friend.



That being said I carry wherever if someone doesnt want me carrying, they can ask me to leave and I will.

Same here.  I just carry wherever, and don't say anything unless they ask.  If they have a problem with it, then they obviously don't trust me so I should just leave.

Well if you have to draw your weapon to shoot a home invader, and your friend is offended, he's probably not the sharpest tool in the shed.

(I use this scenario because it's pretty much the only way anyone is going to know I'm carrying.)

I don't force people who don't like guns to carry at my house.

Honestly, unless someone made it known to me that they didn't like guns or didn't want them in their house, around their kids, near their pets, whatever, I don't see that it matters.  Concealed is concealed.

Not the same.

Do you ask to bring your wallet, phone, or keys with you ?

The CCW is a personal item that you choose to carry....they won't see it, nor effect him.
