[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Hi, just wondering if you have firearms at home and if so, do you keep them locked up and secure?” As a gun owner, I’d have no problem explaining how I lock my firearm, but we don’t host play dates (when you ask “why doesn’t XX reciprocate”, this is why)[/quote] We are a military family and we have weapons, secured safely. Honestly I am both surprised and kind of appalled if someone doesn't ask me this question. We expect it and are never offended.[/quote] I'm pro gun control but I don't ask about guns in the house because a) I know some people will lie about it for various reasons; and b) there are lots of safety hazards in a house, so why ask about that one specifically. I'm hopeful that you're a good parent who is properly supervising, I've told my kids about the dangers, and accidental death from gun tragedies make news because they are so rare. There is no reason for you to be appalled because I don't ask about it.[/quote]
