[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I always ask.  And no, I would not let my child go to a home that has firearms.

I would rather be uncomfortable and impolite than have a dead child.  Simple as that.  [/quote]

So you wouldn't even care how they store their guns?  Just if they have one then you won't let them go there?  [/quote]

Some people are like that and it's OK. Maybe they are pacifists, maybe they have trust issues. Maybe it's a cultural values thing - if you have guns (even though they are secured), then they don't want to have social interactions with you and it applies to kids. 
[b]It's a free country, people can decide what's best for them [/b](and hey, if you have the right to own a gun, then I (and by extension my child) certainly have the right to avoid vising your house). Different strokes for different folks, that's all. Let's all breathe out.  Your kid can play with other kids whose parents also own guns, or whose parents don't ask about this.

That's certainly true. And it's equally true that gun owners are not required to disclose their possession. [/quote]

Do you are exercising your right but denying me the right to make my choice?  How Trumpy of you. [/quote]

You can make your choice. But you're not entitled to everyone's private information as a basis to make that choice. [/quote]

Then say to my face when I ask: "This is a private matter that we don't discuss outside family". Bam!
You don't have to lie in my face, freaking hypocrite who is all about choice as long as others get none.[/quote]
