Concealed Carry - Friend's House

[trackskippy]

LOL. And anyone who watched a horror movie would know what you intended with those scissors.

It never ends. No point worrying on it.

As @Craig_VA noted, we are required to notify the person in control of a private residence if we CC in the residence in AR. The law does not specify when or how I must notify them. If I'm going to a home where the people don't know I carry (which is very rare), I'll usually call them beforehand and have a quick discussion about carry in their home. If they're OK with it, then they've been notified that I'll be carrying. If not, I won't carry in their home. Their house, their rules.

OP , Your objectivity is in question.
Would you object if an old and trusted friend were to carry concealed in your house?
Are you simply opposed to anyone carrying on your property? If so , why?

If , in fact , it is your intention to disallow CC in your home by any and all persons you need to find a way to communicate that. You are well within your rights in doing so.

Waveski,
People can carry in my house.

But it's a violation of etiquette, like keeping your hat on. But as a gentleman, I am not going to point that out.

I can see by the discussion that many don't consider it a violation. They like their hat damn it, they will wear it wherever.

Waveski,
They like their hat damn it, they will wear it wherever.

Anymore, that isn't "improper etiquette", and many post 60's-70's born, probably wouldn't know it was a problem.

Some of us are old enough to remember those things, and some of us dont care. And on that note, pretty much all the adults I grew up around in the 50's and 60's, were wearing/carrying a handgun everywhere. We did take our hats off when we came in then too though, or you got smacked.

I was born in '65, and it seems like civilian hat wearing in the south went out of fashion with Tom Landry, Bear Bryant, and my grandfathers. Not counting ball caps and cowboy hats that persist today at a seemingly 10 to 1 ratio.

Which means that hat etiquette really isn't a thing down here in the civilian world.

Guns within or carried in a house? No one brings it up down here. It's just not foremost on people's minds when having visitors come over.

I for the life of me can't think of how this could possibly be an issue except that some people think that guns somehow have magical properties that exempt them from the same laws of the universe that every other item of small personal property is subject to.

If you invite me over to your house, do I have to ask permission to bring a book in? Laptop? What if I'm on some kind of medication? Do I have to ask permission to bring that in? What if its a controlled substance?

It is really a sad state of affairs when someone is living in such a constant state of fear that even when going to a friends home for dinner or to play cards they must be armed.

You equate carrying with fear?
You have a list of places where you don't feel you must carry? (post office, court house, other prohibited places doesn't count)

If I thought I must carry to go there, I would avoid going there.

Everyday when I put on my pants I'm armed, despite living in a excellent area where I don't feel I must be armed.
Walking the dogs (Bullmastiff and GSD) people will say "nobody going to assault you" yet I'm armed (began the day that way).
Shopping, out to eat, errands, in my "good area" - I'm armed and I do not consider myself living in fear.

I'm disinclined to go where I can't carry, but I would also be disinclined to go if expected to give up my wallet, keys, phone, other items I always have.

 

[trackskippy]

Funny thing here is, all the places where people are made to disarm, are usually the same places, that end up being the places where they have all the big blowouts and massacres.

Guess its probably best to avoid the OP's place for the next soiree.
