You get LGC Rs to burn right? I sure as hell can't.

I am going to host another 2+2 Denver area game, so I would like to invite the OP for a celebrity appearance. You will need to put your gun in the safe while you play, though.

Ask the owner if you can hide your gun under his sofa or something, make sure he's cool about it.

At risk of giving a serious answer to an old thread....

Discussing it with the host would be the polite thing to do, whether your state requires you to ask first or not. Your legal obligations vary from state to state. You were presumably required to learn the ones that apply in your state when you got your permit.

In the state of Alaska, where I live, anyone can carry (we issue permits only so that people who travel out-of-state have a piece of paper to show in other states), but you would be specifically required to get permission before bringing the concealed weapon with you:

"A person... may be charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon under AS 11.61.220 if s/he.... carries the weapon concealed within another person’s residence, unless s/he has first obtained the express permission of an adult residing there, whether or not the person has a concealed handgun permit."

If it's my home, incidentally, the answer is no, whether there's a poker game that night or not.

Much as I enjoy the humor of the thread, I'll give a serious answer too:

No, don't carry to someone's home game. If you feel there is a *remote* chance you may need your Glock, stop going to the game.

I say this as a strong gun rights supporter and shooter - I'm not against guns in the least. But carrying into someone's private home that you've been privately invited to isn't cool, unless they've made it very clear that it is.

bump

What if someone string bets?

LOL! nh!!

Take it, and every time you lose a hand, pull it out and talk to it.

This is the best.

wtf were you searching for?

This post is from 2 years ago

I pack my gat, unlock my glock, keep it off safety for the haters IMO. $20-40 tournaments are filled w/bluffers and they need to get their just deserves obv.

Lights out mother ****er

Too strange that this was bumped. Just had a very long debate about this on another site.

I think that if you are going to carry (legally) as a general practice - I see nothing wrong with carrying to a Home Game. I do think you need to get the Home Owner's permission first - it is rude to carry into someone's house without their consent.

And don't drink and Carry. Zero tolerance.

"poker" "game" "glock"

This thread is the first one I read when I joined 2+2. Awesome.

Not an entirely theoretical concept.

I'm playing once a week at what can only be described as an underground card room (although it varies in some ways from what I'd imagined an underground card room to be (small number of games, only runs four days a week primarily, although they're thinking of going to five).

So my first day there, the game hasn't started up yet, and the guy running the place(a very talkative guy, who's been making money from illicit gambling venture for years, if not decades, from what I can determine) is chatting me up and talking about the place and he brings up how secure it is (you have to go through a locked gate to get to the parking, you have to be buzzed in through two locked doors to get into the building and they have security cameras on the outside of the building, and you'd have to be insane to mess with their muscle (he's like 6-5 or something, has an advanced belt in ji-jitsu and I gather from things he's said, this is not the first discipline he's studied and, among other things he's ex military and used to body guard for Biggie Smalls (though wasn't on duty when Biggie got shot (and how many nested paranthetical asides can I put in one sentence anyway?))).

After he mentions their security this other guy, who, as it turns out has since been there everytime I've played except for one time after he was in a car wreck pulls out a semi-automatic handgun of some sort (sorry, not expert enough to recognize the make/model) and says "and if anybody does get in, I've got seventeen reasons they'll be sorry they did!"

I've never seen him flash the gun again, but I presume he carries it regularly.

Interstingly, though, this guy tends to monopolize the remote to the TV, and nobody ever says a damn thing to him about it .

I have to post, I must have lol'd at least 30 times at the edited quotes, and the rational reasoning to bring a firearm incase someone calls you a donk or check raises you. By far the funniest poker post Ive seen in a while!

I just heard that a game I have been attending got armed robbed. Thank god I wasn't there. I definately wont be back. With or with out a gun. I hear it has happened to several games in my area. I'm really going to miss playing in this game it had a lot of loose players and a lot $$$. This is probably why it got robbed. Because playing poker is illegal here it brings out the criminals. I geuss I will have to drive 6 hours to a casino now.

Bring the glock.

If anyone ever brought a gun into my house without my consent they better be prepared to use it on me.

I don't have any guns around, however I would instasmack anyone that secretly brought a deadly weapon into the home that keeps my wife and kids safe.

Ask me, I say no way. Don't ask me, you go out through the nearest window, and get a bill for the repair.

ADDED: By the way. If by home game you mean 'illegal casino', then I don't like guns but I can understand. If you mean someones actual house, then see above

Bring the gun, then at random times at the start of a hand pull it out and point it at the player being UTG, for comical effect.

Seriously 2p2 I am shocked to see that this thread has gone on for so long without anyone making a lousy joke using the term Under The Gun.

Lol when i started reading this thread i thought for sure it was a joke, i mean who the hell brings a gun to a friendly homegame??? But well judging on all the responses i guess its just standard over in the US, god America is such a sick country...
I mean honestly i work as a cop and i aint even allowed to bring my gun outside the station when i aint working...

Don't disagree that we're a messed up country, but a lot of this thread is tongue-in-cheek. Even the rough and tumble guys I know who own and operate firearms don't want to bring them to poker games. Most we get are knives, and those are mostly carried by the guys who have reason to carry knives.
