For example, if a child is coming to play at your house, you may help normalize these conversations by offering up the fact that you do have a gun in the home, and share the details of how you safely store it. In doing so, you lay the foundation for having that same conversation when it’s time to send your child to their home getting robbed by your “friends”.
And we need to politely ask about sexual weirdos and groomers in liberal homes...
“Yes, You Need To Ask About Guns In The Home Before Play Dates”
Depends on how good junior’s shot is, as far as I’m concerned.
“I don’t discuss personal security arrangements with anyone outside of my house.”
Well of course you should ask. Then compare yours with theirs and discuss the relative merits of both your choices!
Lol, if this dingbat has to ask if I have guns in the house, there is zero chance our kids would be friends.
When the NRA had actual real good info with Eddie Eagle and other programs these types said it was better to just avoid the subject. All this talk of don’t touch, get an adult is what they used to act like was child abuse.
They should be more of afraid of my angels. I had so many in the car on the way to the post office I don’t know how they all fit. I don’t think my kids would want to play with such a parent’s kids, and I don’t think I’d be close enough to them for any invites. LOL. I know what the bible says about the fearful and unbelieving and where they’re headed, so they might get a salvation chat.
I simply tell them my house is not kid-proof. Their call.
I carry. If I’m visiting someone I let them know. Their house, their call. I’ll either leave or lock the firearm in the car. Nobody has been bothered so far.
1. Do you have a gun or guns in your home?
none of your business, and you and your child can leave now...
If firearm sales keep it up, the gun control movement will be relegated to a few hard core “Karens.”
Estimated 5 Million children live in a home with a firearm.
Yearly average accidental gun deaths of children and TEENS 481. (.0096%)
I couldn’t find any real numbers.
Anyone who asks that question of me will no longer be part of a friendship with me.
funny how adults ask the darndest questions.
Me: Do you have guns in your home?
Larry Lib: O my gracious! Of course not.
Me: The how do you in
tend to protect my grandchildren? C’mon kids, let’s get ice cream
Based on what studies? What are the actual numbers? I can assert that the author has increased their encounters with homeless prostitutes with poor hygiene - based on what factual evidence?
“who is committed to normalizing conversations about gun safety “
Yeah so advertise who has what, good plan.
Hmmm, I never asked any of the parents of my daughters friends if they had guns, but I did ask them if they allowed their children to watch TV, if they did, she wasn’t allowed over.
this conversation does carry the risk that you’ll get an answer you don’t like

Ya reckon?
28 years ago, my daughter, who lived in another state, had a baby girl. Daughter wanted to bring the baby ande visit for a week, which delighted my wife and me.
I talked with her over the phone, I was a smoker at the time and she asked me politely if I could go outside to smoke while the baby was here. I thought it was a reasonable request so I agreed. When I wanted a smoke, I went to the garage.
I came back inside one day and went to pick up my grand daughter and hold for a while. My daughter caught me and I thought she was going to hug me but no, she was sniffing the front of my shirt for cigarette smoke. I told her that if she wanted her daughter to grow up without a grandpa just keep sniffing my shirt. Message given and received.
