CC at holiday gatherings?

[Mfarnham]

General question for all you guys and gals who carry. When you're going to someone else's home, whether for a family party or otherwise, do you bring your sidearm? I tend to not out of respect, but I suppose it depends on where the homeowner stands on the 2A.

I understand the meaning of "conceal" but I only carry where there is a possible threat to my wife and kids.

[Da_lucche]

Two thoughts. First, if you were smart enough to know exactly where your family might face danger then you would never need a firearm. You would be smart enough to just never go there.

Second thought, why does it matter what the host thinks of the 2A. Would you never wear yellow underwear because they hate that color? No, it wouldn't matter because they'll never see your underwear.

Actually, I have a third thought......WTF?

 

[Metalhead]

If I could carry (RI is a PIA) I would always carry. Better to have it and not need it than...well you know the rest.

 

[jtorbin88]

Could some one break in and spoil the party? The answer is yes better to save your family.

 

[dancha84]

i always carry whenever possible. these days you never know where the threat will be.

 

[scouter-rick]

Always. Period.

 

[perry1386]

Yes, I carry wherever legally allowed unless I'm workin

Of course.

I don't "display" what I carry. There's my show of respect.

I understand the meaning of "conceal" but I only carry where there is a possible threat to my wife and kids.

Huh.

Where is there no threat?

 

[loki32687]

Concealed means concealed.

 

[Trouble]

I always carry. I dont expect my mother to attack me with a knife when I go home for Christmas, but who knows what can happen? Home invasions, the travel etc.. Christmas should be no different than any other day.

Hope youre not going to many baby showers in Lawrence.

Respect would be not carrying if the friend/family member your are visiting knows you carry, and has asked you not to in their house. Then again, disrespect isn't illegal.

everyday..... everyday...... everyday..... did i mention when i carry? oh its everyday..... only time i am not is if i am in a prohibited place or at the doctors they often have me strip down and seperate me from my clothes

 

[Tyke]

If I am going to drink, no. Any other time? Yes.

 

[KOMA829]

yes, unless planning on drinking.

what about when you return home from a friend or family's party? wouldn't you want to be prepared if someone was in your house.

 

[jgeebs413]

You haven't met my family

 

[timbo]

yes...always...never without

 

[TOY539]

Concealed means concealed.

Works for me.

 

[jasons]

....I only carry where there is a possible threat to my wife and kids.

There is always a possible threat. ATGATT.

 

[WallHack]

Just after I applied for my LTC, I tweeted that once i got it I would CCW to family gatherings, just because I could. Haven't gone back on my word so far.

 

[Brin747]

Always...

 

[SMagee]

I love my Family and Friends enough to make sure I carry whenever I'm around them. All it takes is one Bad Person to create a lifetime of "if only I had...."

 

[usp45ct]

Unless I plan on drinking

I even carry if I am going to drink, drink means socially, one or two over the course of several hours with a meal. Schlobber-Nockered, I'm too old for that.

I would never be able to forgive myself if I wasn't carrying and something happened that I could have put a stop to.

Back to the OP: Just watch out for those 'huggers', drop your elbow to cover the piece, otherwise they might bust you. And as others have noted, Concealed means Concealed.

1) I tend to carry, out of respect for my wife's life and my own.

2) My crystal ball is broken. I don't know where "there is a possible threat" to me or my wife. If I did, I wouldn't go there. I'm guessing that your crystal ball isn't any better than mine and you are just kidding yourself.

 

[WargameHub]

I carry any time I am legally able to. So about 99% of the time. I just dont tell them.
