Those 4 states are Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana and South Carolina. 8% of America.

I would like the forum to answer if those 4 states have got things right! To myself, concealed is concealed. :scrutiny:

If , however, in any state I'm legal to carry (34 at the moment), someone at the the door asks Red if he's carrying and so ,please leave your rod in the car, I simply walk away, never to return! :D

No big problem. :)

Your thoughts on 8% of America, THR? ;)
 
I'd absolutely honor the homeowners request, always have and will.
If they're against me coming in with a gun, I'd have no reason to be, or business being there.
 
While I have absolutely no issue with individuals prohibiting carry on their own private property, I'm not really a fan of the requirement to notify. On the rare occasions that I enter someone's home, I leave it in the car to avoid the awkwardness of having to bring it up. It's probably the only firearms related state law in Alaska that I have to complain about.

How so, and what?

A private homeowner is not the government and may restrict your rights to varying degrees depending on the local laws. I always respect the wishes of the homeowner, it is after all their castle.
 
Red Wind, please tell me why I'm being naive or why I'd get in a whole heap of trouble for insisting that people follow my rules (so long as I'm not breaking the law, obviously) while they're in the house *I* paid for.

If the Castle says walk away, I walk AWAY! Far,far away!

So are you saying that if someone comes to your house they don't have to obey your rules or respect your wishes, no matter what those rules or wishes may be?? If you expect someone to respect your property and wishes, you should do the same.

Obviously Red is more interested in asking questions than answering them.

Attitudes like his are the reason we have gun laws.

All my friends know I carry, I don't need to ask. On the other hand, why should it be up to me to ask my next door neighbor if they want me to disarm before accepting their invitation to step inside for minute? Why is a firearm any different than any other legal but socially controversial item I might have on my person? Here's an example of how I see it (and I don't personally use tobacco, but it's the best analogy I can think of): While I would never light a cigarette or take a dip of snuff in someone's house without asking permission (and I would be annoyed if someone did that in my house) I would never think of asking permission to enter someone else's house with a pack of cigarettes or a can of snuff in my pocket. If it isn't used or pushed in their face they have no reason to know or care that it's there.
 
An owners property rights trump those of a voluntary visitor. But it's not unreasonable to assume as a visitor that one's individual rights remain intact unless told otherwise.
 
That's going to get very awkward if you start asking everyone who comes to your door if they have a gun on them. For me, if I invited them, I either already know or don't care. As I don't have people dropping in that I don't know.
I have never been asked that question in 45 years of carrying a firearm, and probably never will.

Sorry. you have communication problems.

If I come to someone's casa and they ask me to disarm if they suspect, I am carrying, I will walk away.

Even you, understand now. What a load. A real,real load on a gun forum!

That's way 46 states don't ask the question! It's stupid!
 
Red Wind, with all due respect you are not making any sense. Try to actually explain your point instead of avoiding it with silly responses that seem to be nothing but a poor attempt at being clever
 
Permission to Carry in "Your Home" ?

Good rule (aka - law). Hopefully my state will adopt it. I am licensed to carry in my state, ergo I have "the right to carry", but "where" can be amended.

I'd like to know who is "carrying" in "my" home. A great deal of people come into my home, but not all are friends. Also, it would be less disconcerting and I'd feel a lot safer if unacknowledged permission would be required. One step in that direction would be the legal requirement "to ask" permission in every case.

What sayest thou ?:)

No wonder I keep asking myself," Why do I fell so drained? :evil: It's people like you! :D

Please, ....Just Vanish. We'll all be Happy! :cool:
 
As my profile states, I live in South Carolina. Jeff Young was one of the State Legislators who pushed South Carolina's first concealed carry bill through the legislative process. I know Jeff quite well and while we haven't discussed every provision of the original Bill, we have discussed it enough for me to say with confidence that a lot of compromises were necessary to get the Bill past the nay sayers. They passed what they thought was the best compromise they could pass at the time. That's why we have some of the provisions we have in our CC law.

With that being said, I have no problem with this provision, I prefer to know if someone is carrying before they enter my castle. I have seen too many yayhoos on the shooting range and read about too many careless gun toters in the news to trust just anyone entering my house while armed.

Amen, Mr. Moderator !

I'm sorry if he had a bad day, but don't take it out on those who want to relax and expand on their gun knowledge.

Maybe it's the tainted strawberries that's making him blow Red Wind ???
