Their property, their rules. It's one of those crazy property rights ideals that we hold very near and dear to our heart as Americans.
That being said, I'd have it locked up in the car with no one the wiser. I'm not traveling by car during the holidays unarmed, sorry.
I would probably apologize if I had insisted that I bring it, but I would never do that because my Libertarian leaning ways would not allow me to impose my will.
I'd also calmly and rationally attempt to debate them no matter how irrational or upset they get if the subject is broached. You catch more flies with honey. I'm also the type to never give up on someone because people of all ages shift viewpoints, religious affiliations and political parties. You'll never be there to make that happen if you aren't talking with them. There is a huge difference between talking with them and talking to/at them. I know from experience with people in my past trying to tell me about their political/religious beliefs. No one won me over by talking at me with the usual party line crap...it took people who genuinely engaged me in conversation after I made some self evaluations.
