As a matter of respect?

[BC1]

Spoken like a true resident of New York! God Bless Bloomberg! See, that's what you, BC1 and Bloomberg have in common - you all want to decide who gets to carry guns and who doesn't in your "house."

Christ, what a statement! You're Goddamned right! I decide what happens in my own home, not you. God bless America, where I can throw you out by the scruff of your neck. Anyone who refuses to disarm on my property will have an extremely bad day. In fact the constitution prohibits even the government from entering my home against my wishes. You're not a protector of the constitution, you're a provacatuer, nothing less. I'm giving these people an education in the current state of the second amendment, positions I personally don't believe in, while you're compensating for some deep rooted issue with authority. Every post, same thing... open carry, argue with police, open carry, resist police... ad nauseum. The military didn't teach you respect?

The beauty of America is I decide what's best for me. Personally I think Bloomberg is an ass and have repeatedly taken any position against him (Link Removed). I also personally wouldn't trust you anywhere near my family armed. Only a damn fool lets everyone in their home armed. Only a fool takes the position that everyone should have a gun regardless of background. Only a fool tips his hand. Only a fool is ready for a fight in every robbery scenario. Do me a favor, don't protectect my family.

God help you. He gave you eyes but you don't see. Perhaps if you endured the murder of a loved family member as some of us have you may have an entirely different position on who carries a gun in our home. EVER HEARD OF A CASTLE DOCTRINE? It starts with me deciding who enters my home.

You think I'm anti-second? Trust me buddy, thousands have received CCW permits through me. Can you make the same claim to the second amendment? Perhaps you should apply a little less jawbone and a little more elbow-bone.

Setting the requirement of law aside, why do you feel YOUR gun, in YOUR lawful possession, under YOUR control should be any different than a cell phone, car keys, or pocket knife in your pocket? Doesn't the property owner have equal rights to prohibit those items as well? Why do you feel the need to single out the gun amongst all other possessions to tell the property owner about? And, don't shop owners/propietors have equal rights over their property as home owners do, so do you ask every business propietor if your gun is OK in their store, even when not required to do so by law?

Business owners already have the right to deny access due to my CC or OC. If the sign is not posted, then of course I would not disclose. As for the private property owner who I'm about to enter on, I feel obliged to notify and ask permission to carry on HIS/HER property. Again, some States require you ask permission.

I do respect individual rights. Just because I have the right to carry doesn't mean I can carry on your property without due consent. JMHO and the right to it!

However you did not answer my questions. Why do you feel obliged to notify and ask permission to carry of a home owner, but not a business owner/proprietor? If the home owner didn't want guns in their house, why can't they post a sign as well? And why is the gun in your control, presumably concealed, any different than any other object that you would take into their house without asking permission first?

I understand what your position and beliefs are, I am just trying to understand why single out notifying only a home owner and not a business propietor and why singling out the firearm as the only inanimate object you feel obliged to disclose. Setting aside the legal requirement, of course.

A business owner is open to the general public, a private property owner is not.

what makes carrying a firearm such a big deal that you would even bring it up?

 

[Hoganbeg]

Oh, for crying out loud! If you feel the need to ask you probably already know the answer. If you don't mind losing control of your private knowledge go ahead and ask. If you do, either keep your mouth shut and carry anyway, hoping you don't offend this person, or disarm and consider it the price of friendship.

It is a general observation that I actually made a long time ago in a forum far, far, away.

I seen too many threads started in which the OP (not to say you) gets bent completely out of shape when people disagree w/ him.

I've done it myself.

I think we all have gone bezerker over being criticized about our posts. Thanks for clarifying.

There are friends that I would carry in their home and some that I wouldn't, all for different reasons. Most of my true friends wouldn't be surprised if I was carrying or care. But I do have a couple friends that just in general it's better not to carry around especially in their home.
I think it's based on specific situations and your friends.

I wouldn't carry around too many little kids or in a situation where the ignorant people I'm around would make the situation too much to handle and take the fun out the occasion.

Honestly I wouldn't mind if someone carried in my home. Whether it's a friend or a friend-of-a-friend. If my sister brought a guy over and he either asked if he could carry or I found out he carried then at least we'd have something to talk about. Plus I'd know my sis was in safe hands. Without guns, cars, tools, or the like what are us guys supposed to talk about

True. Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, and Balenciaga are like foreign words to you blokes.

You are not violating anybody's sanctity simply by having a piece of iron hanging off your belt. If you feel the need to tell your friends go ahead and you should feel better. Beyond that I would not not advertise the fact that you are carrying. There are enough places that you can't carry as it is, no need to get tossed out of some just for being overly polite.

I totally agree with this

That "Friend" word gets used a little too loosely by most folks for my tastes. Anyone I call friend not only knows I'm packing but could tell you the make, model, caliber, what ammo I use and how many spare mags I pack.
