[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While the way she phrased it was extremely odd and unnecessarily prickly, it is absolutely 100% her business if there are guns in the home of where her kid might visit, so you need to stop with thinking or saying otherwise.

The way I phrase it is this:
“Unfortunately, due to a childhood tragedy, it’s especially important for me to ask: do you keep guns in the home?”

My neighbor three doors down was shot and killed when he and a friend were playing with his dad’s gun. So yeah, I ask. And yeah, I have a right to. [/quote]

You can keep thinking it’s your right and business to know, but it isn’t and no one is obligated to share any info about what they keep in their house, where, how it’s kept.  Take with that omission whatever you want.  You aren’t obligated to send your kid to anyone’s house, just as they aren’t obligated to give you these details [/quote]

I’ve never had a problem when I ask. Any RESPONSIBLE owner would not only anticipate the question, they would welcome it. I’ve had many good discussions with RESPONSIBLE gun owners, whom I trust.

And thank you so much for your condolences about the traumatic death of my friend when I was a child. You’re clearly a very kind and thoughtful person.[/quote]
