They have the right to refuse to allow carry in their home. If they expressed no such prohibitions, you are free to carry. They also have the right to ask you to leave at any time for any reason ( maybe they don't like your hairstyle)
It will be your decision whether to CC or OC, but I would CC until I knew more about their stance. JMHO

This would be cc. I don't really know these people, which is why I ask.

I disagree. You are invited as a guest. It's common courtesy.

I carry concealed into 5-8 homes every business day. The subject has never come up. I practice don't ask/don't tell.

I would never discuss my carrying a weapon unless it was a close friend. They would never know I was armed. It is not again St the law unless the home owner says so.

As said above, "conceal and carry on."

If they don't want me to carry a handgun, a mobile phone, a pocket knife, et cetera, then it's common courtesy to notify me before I accept their invitation. Similarly, if they have house rules regarding the types of jewelry or undergarments one may or may not wear, it behooves them to provide advance notice to invited guests.
