56. Not "feel" but BE and LIVE around guns

You are avoiding my question. You have no right to demand to NOT have guns in your home, which a dorm room is? This is what you are actually saying. A person does not have the right to prevent guns in their home. I cannot tell someone carrying a gun that they cannot come into my home with that? PRIVATE PROPERTY. Yes, I have a right to "feel" that way.

In case you don't know, I am the wife of a gunner. I can demand that his guns are locked up in combination safe, away from me, and that I will not go anywhere with him when he is carrying. No right to do that? It is MY home too, just as my daughters and their spouses have the right to set rules on guns in their homes.
