I'm going to run into a similar situation, as my mother is staunchly against guns - mainly handguns. My father wouldn't allow them in the house for that reason - even though he grew up hunting and handling firearms, and taught me how to shoot shotguns and .22LR rifles. He's pro-gun, just has to live with my mother, LOL.

Both of my parents work for TSA at the airport and see all sorts of crazy stuff, so they won't ask me not to carry, but they may ask me to keep the weapon out of their house. I'll lock it in a case and leave it in the car, or a place in the house which is safe(also in a lock box). Its their choice, and one has to respect it. They give me more respect than I could ask for - only right to return the favor.



In your situation it sounds like you have a lot of sheeple in your family, and that nothing you're going to do in fighting is going to help. Should you apologize? You bet. For seeing things differently than them, for not being able to help them understand your point of view, and for no longer being able to spend the night because you have made a concious decision to be responsible for your own safety.

Just don't apologize for carrying.....
