Do you CCW into other people's houses?
I'm relatively new to CCW'ing. I started carrying my usp compact 9mm about 4 months ago when I got my permit. Ever since then I've made it a point to always be armed whenever I leave the house whether it be going to the grocery store, bank, park, mall, restaurant etc.
However one place I have not carried is when I have gone into other people's homes. I feel like I would be imposing on their wishes if I were to carry inside. Yes I use an inside the waistband holster that does a pretty good job of preventing any printing, but I still feel reluctant about doing it since I am unsure about how some of them would react if they saw my gun sticking out.
This feeling is amplified if there are children present. Of course my gun would be under my shirt in the cocked and locked condition with the safety on and the trigger covered due to the holster, but there is still something in my subconscious that says kids and guns just shouldn't even be near each other.
On the other hand I feel awkward leaving my gun in the car before I go into their house, and thus only being armed with my fists and spyderco folding knife.
How have other people handled this situation?
