I live in a state where I can carry concealed. I have a permit to carry and usually carry everywhere. However, when I'm invited to a home game of someone I don't know, or where there will be people I don't know, I'm not sure what I should do.

First, my questioning it isn't because I think I'm gonna need it. But it's posed in general as a person entering somebody else's home who I don't know with a firearm. Should I ask the homeowner? Should I just leave it in the car? Should I not tell anyone?

I am carrying concealed, so most likely nobody would ever know. There's always the chance that the gun could get printed or accidentally revealed. I'm afraid if this happens it would panic everyone else there since they don't know me. After all, how would you feel if you saw the dude next to you was packing. We're aren't playing high stakes, $20-$40 buy-in tourneys, so chance of robbery or foul play is low. But who knows. However, I'd kick myself if one day I needed it and it was in the car.

$20-$40 tournies tend to have the most collusion.
def pack it.

just bring a kalashnikov to your next game and lay it on the table in full view with the safety off and a banana clip in place

lol DEF BRING IT WHAT IF SOMEONE THREATENS YOU

Great advice. Duck tape two together even for easy reloading action.

AR-15s are also nice. PM for instructions on conversion to full auto.

Hmmm, after these responses I think I need to bring an extra mag too! 30 rounds should be enough.

lol,

if you need to consider packing to goto a $20-40 tourney homegame, you probably shouldn't even go.

Fun with fypin'!

mdkrahn,

My question is actually the opposite. I carry all the time. Should I "unpack" when going to a homegame?

Alright, I'm going to give you a serious answer.

Yes, don't bring a concealed weapon into the home of a stranger.

Unless it's YO BIRFDAY

I don't have to explain how this applies to power poker, right?

ZOMG they might have a bazooka for home defense and you'd be outgunned!! You should bring a concealed ICBM nuclear missle, then if you need it you know no one else can beat you.

i usually drive up in a tank, but that's just me. check your state laws first

So what you're saying is when I'm bluffing on the river and it looks like the guy's gonna call, I put the glock on the table...
