[Rossshady120]

my aunt is a NRA member but she wont allow a gun in her house, guns have bin in my life pretty much all my life expect now? i dont know whats her problem what should i do buy one and stash it under the bed or what i need some help i cant go without my 2nd amendment.

 

[M_Olson]

sorry man, her house her rules.

dont give up on trying to convince her though.

 

[doubleg]

See if her out look would change if the guns were going to be locked up in a gun safe.

 

[granuale]

Don't go there.

 

[Rossshady120]

i guess i would be okay for having a safe but what if someone breaks in i may as well not even have it and i hear gun safes are alot of $$$. im not talking pistol im talking rifle, and thx for you guys replying so fast

 

[JKimball]

what should i do buy one and stash it under the bed or what

No. She has every right to make those rules in her house. You gotta respect her better than that. Be thankful she is letting you stay there.

But if it really is that big of a deal for you, you should look into getting an apartment or something.

Like M-Olson said "Her house, her rules."

 

[2TransAms]

As posted,it's her house and her rules. If I knew you shot a 9mm through the wall,I wouldn't let you have one in my house either.

Rent public storage?

 

[hceptj]

i 2nd the storage cabinet idea...if not, as said above, her house & her rules...sounds like she's just wanting safety...maybe a cabinet like this one...

Her house, her rules. Yep.

 

[JP from Phoenix]

my question is if shes an NRA member whats her beef with guns?

 

[kingpin008]

I'm just gonna add my voice to the chorus - her house, her rules. If you need to keep one so badly, see about moving out on your own. That way, you're king of the castle and can keep as many cannons on hand as you want!

 

[MudPuppy]

Could be any number of things--she may be a homeowner and worried about lawsuits, could be she doesn't trust a family member due to past behavior--or just still sees them as a child.

Regardless, follow the rules of the house.

Her house, her rules. If you don't like the rules, get your own apt. and live as you please, so long as you don't P.O. the landlord.

I am going to dissent here

You can keep trying to convince her, but you also need to do what you need to do. Of course, I would respect my aunt's rules, but I would expect her to respect me too. Hopefully you can come to an understanding. If you are living there as a tenant though, and you want to keep a handgun, for example, but not ruffle her feathers, get a firesafe, bolt it to your desk or whatnot, and keep your gun in locked up in there. You need to have a safe place to store your money, passport or whatever anyway and that is all she needs to know. That would ensure your privacy and safety etc.

We're all assuming you live there. Do you?

If so, and no guns, why the heck is she an NRA member?

Frankly if I was denied my right to self-defense, and I heard somebody kicking in the door, I'd go out the nearest window. Her house, her responsibility, her rules. That goes both ways.

 

[skeeter1]

Her house, her rules. Yep.

Same here. You don't own it, you don't make the rules. I have no idea why she wants no firearms in the house, but it sounds like you don't know either. In any even, you're a guest in her house, so it's her rules or hit the road.

 

[98C5]

my question is if shes an NRA member whats her beef with guns?

This was my question too. I don't get it.

 

[AntiqueCollector]

Does she have a reason to not trust you with a gun in her house, real or imagined?

 

[pinstripe]

Her house, her rules is right. Have you thought about moving out? If you are old enough for a gun, you should be old enough to be living on your own. Just my take.

 

[Rossshady120]

i may go with public storage, i want it incase someone breaks in i guess she has the stickers all over the house because it scares ppl away. i know she has a pistol because one time me and my mom found .32 wad cutters in her console. i mean a few weeks ago she said soon as i join a shooting group it would be fine but then it came up at dinner the other nite and it was "your not having a gun in this house". and im like *** mate. as far as her house her rules i understand but i do pay 50 a week pretty much in like rent/savings and i am forced to live in NY if i had it my way i would be back in the motherland FL.

 

[chris in va]

Curious, how old are you?

 

[jcjacobvt]

Public storage!!!

You might as well just leave it on top of your car out in the street.


You have all you paperwork for New York ownership? Gun shop safe rental?

 

[MICHAEL T]

Move You old enough to own a pistol. Your old enough to live on you own. Other wise Its her house and you know rest.
