It's their roof, and it's their rules. Whatever their reasons, it's -their- property, and they have a right to know as the property-holders than I am bringing a weapon onto their property.
For what it's worth, I'm also careful about he owners of the houses I visit. Only once in all my years of this policy has anyone ever asked that I secure my firearm: the rest have simply thanked me for asking and told me to c'mon in.
As for telling people I'm armed...suffice to say that it's not exactly a secret. In my business, it pays to advertise.
