My wife and I just picked up our first firearm tonight. We have two children in the home, and many of our friends have children.
We were also asked tonight by a family to watch their kids overnight next week.
So, we raised the question to each other... do we tell people that we have a gun in the house? It's in a locked safe and very secure.
But, is there a common courtesy to let people know (especially if we are watching their kids) that we are gun owners? I feel like I would respect someone if they showed care in letting me know. However, seeing how sensitive a subject guns can be, and people's very passionate views one way or another...
Wondering what you all think. Better left unsaid? A respectful gesture of trust?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
