Re: Carry at holiday parties
And so it again comes to pass with topics of this sort, that we have entered the "fundamental" or personal rights vs property rights debate. I find it interesting that those who believe the RKBA is God-given and shall not be infringed are quick to ignore another fundamental right - the authority to control your own property, unless they're talking about their own property.

Re: Carry at holiday parties
I think it depends on the context of the relationship, which would be hard to generalize as each relationship would be unique. Businesses posting anti-gun or 30.06 is a completely different animal as there usually is no personal relationship to consider.03Lightningrocks wrote:Wow! I am amazed when I read a post from a person that says we should inform others we are carrying concealed. I am curious. Many times I see posts declaring a business as anti gun and refusing to go into the business. Just so I get this straight. If it is a personal relationship that is anti gun, you will continue to disarm and go in? Even if they don't post the property, you disarm, just in case it will make them nervous? "Out of respect"? I am not sure why anyone considers it a sign of disrespect to exercise our RKBA.

Re: Carry at holiday parties
Not one bit as long as all guns remain holstered/secured. Drinking wouldn't be a factor as I don't drink, most of my friends don't drink, and I don't serve alcohol in my home.Cedar Park Dad wrote:Agreed on all counts.03Lightningrocks wrote:I understand what you are saying. Good enough for me. We all have to make our own decisions and there are many different personal experiences we all have that influence how and why we make them.
Lets swing it around slightly. To the group, if you're the one hosting a Christmas party would you have an issue with others CHLing? Would drinking be a factor?

Re: Carry at holiday parties
Like MotherBear, my default condition is armed. I've only discussed my being armed with my mother - who lives in Louisiana, where prior consent in a private residence is highly advised. Other than that, I don't bring it up.
