[quote=Anonymous]We have many guns in our house and I’m fine with you asking about them. If you decide that our home isn’t safe for your son to have a play date, I’d suggest we do the park or a similar outing. While I wouldn’t be offended, I wouldn’t go out of my way either to pursue a close friendship unless the kids were really drawn toward one another and I’d hope that we could figure out how to make it work.

I’ve made this case here before but it bears repeating. The people you have to worry about aren’t those who are open and honest about firearms. I know multiple families where the mom is against firearms in the home but the dad has one or two or 10 up in a closet somewhere. DH works in the firearms industry so many dads like to chat with him about guns and shooting in general. I can think of several instances where there’s a gun happy dad bragging about his latest purchase married to an anti gun mom who has no clue what’s hiding in the closet. Our kids aren’t allowed at these homes. [/quote]
