Do you ever "rub it in" that you'll be cancelling out her vote?!?!?!? :lol:

My Grandfather used to say that to Grandmom... you can vote D all you want but not a single time will it ever count! "rlol"
I actually tried to get her to agree to vote for Stein if I voted for Johnson, but she wouldn't go for it. So I'll be voting for Trump.

To each, his own. Reasonable minds can differ.

What is reasonable about supporting Hillary Clinton?
"Reasonable" is a subjective term.

Does that make you part of the "basket of deplorables"? Wow, off topic.
I asked my wife on Saturday whether she thought I was deplorable. She said no, so apparently she doesn't agree with HRH Hillary on everything.

We have a rule in our house that no political comments are allowed. This rule is only violated on occasion.......

My concealed dog? My concealed kids?
The purpose of concealed is to conceal. If you have qualms about this ask the person sponsoring the party. If they say no that means no. I don't think any level of alcohol and firearms are acceptable.
The part I bolded is your personal opinion, and you are certainly entitled to it. Others are entitled to their personal opinion about concealed guns in their homes.

Question for you. I assume you are OK with someone carrying at a party in your home. If so, would you still be OK with that person having a few drinks as long as they were not intoxicated, or would your approval of their CC be conditional on a requirement that they not drink at all?
Soccerdad1995, yes I am OK with people carrying at my house. If they were concealed I wouldn't know anyway since I don't frisk people at the doorway. So, I never know if they are carrying or not when they come to my house. On the issue of alcohol, my personal feeling is that firearms and alcohol don't mix. Intoxicated may be more a legal term. This forum has many posts about alcohol and firearms so I won't redo the posts, I am just stating my personal opinion. I also have a commercial pilots license but no longer fly. The 8 hours bottle to throttle time period has always been good for me. I am somewhat biased about alcohol as I get migraines and almost never drink so it easy easy for me to be pious.
Years ago a neighbor had a party at his house, alcohol was served, a guest left and crashed his car into the car of a lady who became paralyzed from the neck down. The lawsuits were huge and the person that held the party (my neighbor) lost a multi million dollar judgement.
You are correct though, the part that you bolded is my opinion.
That makes sense.

My guess is that she would be uncomfortable if she thought I was carrying. I have not and will not ask her. I just leave it in the car when at her house.

I make an exception for people whom I know would not mind. That mostly boils down to family.
My thoughts are similar, but in the reverse. I consider it a breach of etiquette for a guest to come to my home unprepared for their personal defense. If they are going to drink, then it is understandable to not come armed. But if they are planning to stay sober it is a bit rude to expect that I will take care of their personal responsibility for self defense.

Re: House Party: CC OK?

It depends on what you mean by "OK". It's legal unless you have received notice. You may want to mention something to the party host if you value the friendship and don't already know their feelings about guns in their home. Again, it depends on whether "OK" means legal, or something else.

Also, it would be illegal if you drink to the point of intoxication while carrying.

I just hosted a party at my home over the weekend, and I carried up until the point that I decided to start drinking, which is when I locked up my gun in the safe.
