Concealed carry etiquette
« on: December 11, 2016, 07:53:18 PM »
Being in the midst of the holiday season, I find myself pondering this question more often.  Suppose you're invited to someone's home for a holiday party.  Assume it's someone you don't know particularly well; maybe a co-worker, or maybe you're significant other's co-worker (or boss).   Suffice it to say, it's someone you don't know all too well and you have no idea how this person feels about firearms.  Do you figure nobody is going to know and carry?  Or do you leave it at home?

Trying to gauge a consensus.  Thanks.

I would still take it. Youre not breaking any laws and what they dont know wont hurt them. I cc in anti gun stores, why not anti gun homes?

I go to my wife's families get together's and I carry at each and every one.  None of them know but as others have said, it is concealed carry after all...

I carry into customers' homes to fix their computers. It's legal, it's concealed, it happens. Nobody knows.

Twisting an old saying: "when in doubt, do". Consider this scenario.
If concealed remains undetected, no harm-no foul. If discovered, an opportunity arises to educate.  If education is rejected, apologize for the intrusion. If apology is not accepted, take the outcome.  
Just a smelly deplorable dreg of society clinging to God and guns.

Stores and business' need to remember one thing, when I can't carry there, not only do I leave, but more important, my money leaves and they will never get any of it, ever.

I'll carry unless I know I'm having more then a single beer. If I plan to drink it stays home.

Hold on there pardner!

I have several friends that I hold in the highest regard.  I request permission before entering their homes with a firearm.  When I am reconnoitering new territory I attire myself to the best of my judgment.

I have no firm, fixed policy about much of anything.

Was in Boscov's today. They are a no gun zone store. Forgot to take my gun and lock it in my gun vault in my truck. I had a heavy leather coat on over the gun. no printing there. So I said the hell with it. I spend an hour and a half in the store. I didn't bother them and they didn't bother me. Concealed means concealed.
