What would you say or do?


A person asked me, how do I tell a house guest they can come over but to leave their gun at home. I don't want guns in my house. How can I have that conversation for the future?

Says Kielma, if my friends do not want firearms in their home, I don’t bother going to their home. I can, however, say this, all my friends have firearms either on them or inside their home. I can say this, if a friend doesn’t have a firearm, I encourage them to purchase one through me and train with me so they can protect their home and loved ones. Remember when seconds count, law enforcement is 15 minutes away. (national average response time) Purchase, train and don’t be afraid. Like a screwdriver, the firearm is just a tool. Learn to respect it and be proficient with the tool.

An acquaintance doesn’t want guns inside the house. How can I have that conversation for the future?

An acquaintance may say, “I understand you have a concealed weapons permit. So, we’re clear, please do not bring any firearms inside my home.”

The acquaintance may also say, “If you have the firearm on you, just lock it in your vehicle.” Note: I never ever leave a firearm in a vehicle....ever.

How do you have that conversation? This could not be any simpler.

Continues Kielma, I understand if you’re concerned by the thought of a firearm somewhere near you, I will not come over. My firearm is my tool that I've trained years with to become a responsible owner. Says Kielma, they would never have known it was on my person. I don't advertise, I treat the tool with respect and it's with me all the time if something nefarious should happen.

This is my plan. Execute your plan.
