[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have guns and kids over constantly. No one has ever asked.

They are in the safe which I can't even open much less the kids.

OP you will be fine. But clearly you should divorce him. [/quote]

You should be letting people know proactively, not waiting for them to ask. [b]Oh, I would be pissed[/b] if my kids were playing in a house with guns and you didn't disclose that fact.[/quote]

21:28 again. If this is true, then why not ask? If you care about the safety of your kids, why would you passively trust others to volunteer the information?

I am betting that what you actually care about is not having friends who own guns, because it makes you uncomfortable. I can certainly understand that emotional reaction, I used to be like you, but to base your decisions on a gut impulse is not how adults are supposed to behave.

This is how being "proactive" as you suggest works in real life: eventually you'd hit a person who'd knee-jerk their way out of your life when they didn't have to, because they had never had the chance to think/feel their way through "wow, this person I thought was normal has guns."  I have a number of friends who found out we had guns in the house after years of knowing us and it went way differently than it would have if we'd told them before they really knew and trusted us.
