[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is 100 percent her business.  Improperly stored firearms + 13 preteen boys overnight = potential for disaster.

Why not just tell her that you do own guns and that they are stored unloaded in a locked safe, separate from ammunition, or in a biometric safe?[/quote]

OP here. DH basically feels like she is calling him an idiot by supposing he'd have loaded guns lying around. Some of them are worth a large some of money and he doesn't want it known that the 'Jones family' has several thousand dollars worth of guns in our house. He noted that she didn't ask about illegal or prescription drugs, dangerous dogs, swimming pool, alcohol or any other factor also known to kill kids. It feels 'virtue signally' at his expense. It's hard to not consider that viewpoint.[/quote]
He doesn't have to tell her what guns he owns or what they are worth.

And some people DO keep loaded guns where they are accessible.  And kids die.  IME, responsible gun owners don't feel insulted when someone else is trying to be responsible about firearms.  They appreciate that it's not about their ego or their feelings.  He's projecting the most negative interpretation on this mother.  Maybe he should ask himself why?  I mean, you could just say you don't want to tell her (so she'll know you have guns anyway), and then your son's friend won't attend, but I fail to see the big deal.  [/quote]
