“I can assure you that my home is not a gun free zone.”

So why say “homeowner”?
Why use invalid examples?

“without my permission.”

Post 44, permission is the crux.
I do not have a problem with someone being armed.
As a matter of fact and as stated, I would likely discuss the merits, demerits, and theory of whatever iron choices they chose.
BUT, my permission or lack thereof does not remove a persons right of self defense.
Politicians and idiots repeatedly forget that.
And what my lack of permission DOES do is make their presence ‘trespass’.

But I can also assure you that no one else is permitted to carry on my property without my permission.

I was visiting a ret USMC COL and he showed me a new pistol he had in his house(we had talked earlier about buying one)and for some reason I showed him mine.

He had a ‘minor fit’ that I would dare be armed in his residence. He basically ended up saying it was HIS job to protect me in HIS house and gave me the impression he was ‘insulted’ by the fact that I was armed.

I did tell him that for the 10 years I knew him and the several times I had been in his house I was armed. (But that is why we call it concealed carry isn’t it?)

I also got the impression he would have been fine it I had informed him.

In Virginia if a business posts a sign saying no guns etal, it is just trespassing and if you leave there is ‘no problem’. I had a supply of cards with a slashed out gun and had the message, ‘You don’t want my gun, You don’t want my money’...But, as I stated earlier, That is why they call it concealed carry.

In the total of 6 years my grandson played baseball, I always carried but also felt my gun was in safer hands on me than in my truck (which was also ‘illegal’) Once you step out of your vehicle it is illegal for your gun to be on school property..loaded or unloaded.

A long long long way from when teachers and students carried their rifles mounted in the back window....
