I dispute that.chabouk wrote:Contend it all you want, it's still illegal.Purplehood wrote:My contention is that I can legally open-carry within my brothers residence.
I am sure that as long as the owner/controller of the property does not object, you are not in violation of any code. I know that when I confronted a burglar at my brothers house, the Deputy never brought up the issue of me carrying.chabouk wrote:I'm surprised no one has pointed this out, but since your parents' home is (presumably) not property you own or control, you violated 46.035 when you took your jacket off.
Yes, it's ridiculous, but that is the way the law reads.
I won't ask in the first place. I will not bring the subject up. If I already know that you don't accept armed-visitors I will either not visit or leave my weapon behind (unlikely). If I don't know, I won't ask in the first place and I DO NOT consider it rude in the slightest.frazzled wrote:I have no issue in a discussion about it. But its their house. You don't go into someone's house with a gun without permission or knowledge. Thats rude. If I found out someone came in with a gun in my house without telling me, or common knowledge (aka a fellow CHLer), I'd throw them out never to return. Same if they came in hiding a butcher knife or machete. Tell me.Abraham wrote:I completely agree with Keith B and Purplehood.
I would add that if someone decides it's their duty to convince me not to carry or start to deliver the "blood in the streets" lecture, I will politely inform them it's not up for discussion.
I'm not duty bound to listen to these lectures or be harangued about my personal choices any more than someone insisting I agree with their political or religious particulars.
And, in the opposite vein, I no longer attempt to point out the wisdom of carrying. I'm not an evangelical for carrying.
Want to carry?
Great!
Don't want to carry?
Great!
Frankly if you in their house and not comfortable telling them, should you even be in the house?
Unless Dad has a 30.06 sign on his door, I would keep it CONCEALED.frazzled wrote:Its his house. Why did you carry into his house without telling him?
