Re: Can I bring my glock to a home game?
Definitly cary. You are within your legal rights to do so unless the owner of the property asks you not to (which they won't if you don't print) at which point you would have to leave if they ask you to.
The whole point of concealed carry is that you never know where you might need it. While I don't consider small stakes poker games particularly dangerous, they are probably more dangerous than a random 4 hours of your life, and as such I certainly wouldn't pick them as a location to NOT carry.
I would, however offer two pieces of unsoliced advice:
1) Downsize to a S&W 640 or similar for situations like this. The Glock frame is huge, and prints far to easily.
2) Remember never to draw except as an immediate prelude to shooting to save your life (or that of an innocent person you're willing to risk your life to protect). Under all other scenarios, including a mere robbery of the poker game, keep it in the holster.
BTW, leaving the gun in the car is dumb because the car doesn't need it, can't use it, and unless you have a safe in the car can't stop someone from stealing it.
