Christmas is coming! So is my sister in law and her family.:( Since we got a new 3 br plac, I guess they felt obligated to stay with us.) Usually the 2 oldest daughters, 15 & 18 stay with us and she and her husband and the youngest 2 girls stay at my MIL. This year she tells my wife she is going to stay with s, without asking of course! 6 more people here, 2 who don't get along. My wife is 27 and SIL is 32 going on 13. She is a definite ANTI as stated a few weeks ago in the anti law thread.

Monday night she calls the house, I'm in the baby/computer room around 9:30pm. I hear my wife say specifically form the other room. "It's pointless o ask him!" "Hey Matt, Ka'Aronica wants to talk to you!" I go in the other room, and my wife has a disgusted look on her face, as she always does when she talks to her sister, whether its "you should raise your children..." or "you shouldnot have guns..." So I'm used to seeing this face.

I get on the phone. I will post this verbatim as best as I can remember.

Me: Hello!

K: Hey Matt, it's Kay.

Me Hi!

K: I have one request!

Me: Okay.

K: You know I don't like guns right? So when we stay with you, is there any
way you can put your GUN in the CAR! (meaning outside)

Me: No!!!

K: Why?

Me: Cars get broken into. (trying to be nice, that bitch!)

K: It won't...

Me: Besides, all my guns won't fit into the car!

K: GUNS!!! (long silence)

Me: Yeah, I have more than one.

K: OH!!! Okay! Put Kyra back on the phone!

Me: Gladly!

Kyra went on to explain that any other time they were here and the older girls stayed at the house there was always guns here, and that they are inaccessible (except one, hehe!) i told Kyra to cut the convo short before she convinced her to reconsider staying here.

So I hope this worked in getting them not to stay here.

It would be a pity if she didn't let the older girls stay here though, cuz we love spending time with them, my wife practically raised them while SIL left town for 3 years to "find herself" and a husband.

The audacity. We are vegetarians, she would have flipped if we said back in october when we visited them in Chicago. "we don't like meat, so could you not have any meat in the house when we come?" We stayed in a hotel anyway.
 
I have an aunt that doesn't like guns and I usually have them out on the weekends either cleaning, tinkering, loving (said in jest) or just enjoying them.

She wanted to come over (this is a family owned home) to do some stuff that I had requested.

She comes over and spots me cleaning my CCW piece which I do every week and she happened to hit on the weekend that I clean my primary house gun (the shotgun) and putting a touchup on the ones in the safe.

So she happens to spot about five guns on the coffee table alone (the cleaning area), the SKS's lined up waiting their turn and the pistol/revolver cases in the main chair:

Her: How many guns do you have out?

Me: About 20, why.

Her: I don't like being around guns very much.

Me: To each their own.

Her: Since I came all the way over here, can you put those in your truck.

Me: Nope

Her: Why not? I'm not asking much.

Me: My house, my guns, my rules.

Her: But I don't feel right with them out.

Me: To each their own.

Her: Well, I can't repair what you needed fixed.

Me: Okay, just leave the stuff here. Oh, BTW, I'm charging you $30,000 for labor since you refuse to do the repair.

Her: That's not fair, I'll go and see your mother.

Me: Well, don't go in, she has guns too.

Her: I'll get your uncle to do it.

Me: Whatever, just get it done.

Now, I know I was mean and dissrespectful but I do pay rent (for my grandmothers sake who owns the place) but I'm not going to be told to do anything that I don't wish to or be threatened to do anything in my own home. She had no right to make demands of me as I don't have any right to make demands in her house even though the bank owns it.

I feel that others should have the same Rights to do and make the rules when it concerns their palace (home).

If she wants to stay, she'll just have to get over the fact that there are guns in the house. On the other hand, it would be in poor taste to stack them all tee pee style with matching ammo in the living room.
 
It's called respect. I do not ask people to change their homes to suite my tatses, so I do not expect them to ask me to for them. I doubt that I would have carried the converstion very far after they had asked me to remove my guns from my house. After me telling them that the guns cry when I leave them alone, it would have been all downhill from there! :eek:
 
We are vegetarians
Click to expand...

WHAT! You and your are vegetarians? AND you have GUNS!!! But..Wait...that just can't be! GUNS! VEG-HEADS! AAAAGGGHHHHH!!!

:D :D :D

I think you AND USP45usp handled that just fine. Your house, your rules.

Oh, I'm just razzing ya about being a veg-head. I was one as well once, but fell from grace years ago.
 
I thought about mounting the VEPR on the wall since it is the meanest looking gun I have. Oh well, I don't think they are gonna stay here now anyway, not that they were ever welcome.
 
Been vegetarian for 7 years now and keep the weight on. All those carbs I guess. I'm not fat, just built like a bull. If they do stay, I'll make sure all my ammo is stacked on the dresser in the room they sleep in.
 
Sindawe, your post just reminded me of a bumper sticker I saw a few days ago...

"Vegetarian: An old indian word meaning lousy hunter."

That cracked me up for the rest of the day.

Cyanide
 
Yeah, thats her name. Probably the only one in the world. It always reminds me of Konica cameras. Its pronounced karonica. I don't know what the apostrophe is for but her name is made up of 3 name sfrom the family. I also know a guy who is a cop now named Bemajedareki. I went to college with a guy named Bobagide OlaSabhumorra, but he was Nigerian.
 
I have a neice about 25 who is married. 2 years ago I called her about christmas and toled her I was thinking about buying her a shotgun so they would have something just in case. She is not anti but apparently her husband is. She said no. Then she said she would just use a basball bat if needed. I told her that probably would be a poor choice to protect herself and her daughter. She said well Steve doesn't think guns are necessary plus don't YOU HAVE TO GET PERMISSION AND REGISTER A GUN. I said no not in the Free state of Arkansas. Geeesch. At least if something does happen and her or her husband or child is injured or killed my conscience is clean. Everyone else in my large extended family has some type or types of firearms.
 
RULES OF MY HOUSE

1) Rule 1 - MY house MY rules
2) My Rules subject to change on my whim
3) Do not presume to tell me how to run MY house - you're a guest here - I can change that in 5 seconds.
4) Treat those who live in my house with respect and deference
5) NO, you will not be staying overnight - and no I don't care that you are 'family' or 'inlaws'
6) No smoking, alcohol, or unprescribed drugs in my house or on my property

8) Complain about my guns, kids, wife, or dog and you get to hear our deadbolt secure you and your complaints outside
9) YES it is a fixer upper. Unless you can and will wield the tools I do to fix it, keep your mouth shut.

Feel free to nail this on your front door. Problem solved.

1st time here I have never wrote to any befor so I hope I do not upset anyone
As to the small prob you had. I thank god will never have that prob it is rare someone comes over to my home any one who do they all know what I have and they all know that they will never be put up or out of the way. I have 1 gun per room ( no kids at home) and they do not get moved or plaied with by anyone who is here.

Ka'Aronica obviously fails to understand the concept of "guest". You will likely have others problems besides her issues with firearms. Best of luck.

(I think anyone visiting my place knows better than to ask me to put my firearms outside.)
 
My problem is just about the oppisite. Most of my kinpeople are gun owners and the first thing I hear is"Got any new TOYS?" :D


Welcome to the board 357TEXAS. Got a great group here,hope to hear more of ya.

My relatives aren't "gunnies" but they're not really "antis" either. (Sadly, most vote for Democrats.) But when they have come to stay with me, they have NEVER presumed to tell me what I should and should not do in my own home. And when I've visited them, I, too, have NEVER presumed to tell THEM what they should do in their home.

And by unspoken agreement, we just don't talk politics.

Maybe that's why we get along.
