If it's not posted I don't worry about it, even if it's the first time I've been in their home. The reason to carry concealed is so nobody knows. If they discover somehow that I'm carrying and tell me they don't like it I do the same as I would in a public building. I leave after saying thank you and goodbye. Now with open carry I think I'll do it differently. At the initial greeting before entering their home I would point to my sidearm and ask, "Do you mind?" Also telling them I have a CHL. If they say yes, I would either put the gun in my vehicle or just leave. There are many other factors that would have to be considered, like what type of gathering it was. I wouldn't carry at a New Years Eve party for example. Bottom line is just obey the laws as written and carry responsibly and respectfully.
