Can I bring my glock to a home game?

[Kevroc]

The answer is yes, DUCY?

and what if the host puts on a really good movie?

I mean so good that you may have to bust a few shots off?

You would hafta run out to the car, unlock it, get the gun, come back inside and by then the moment will have passed and you'll look silly.

I am surprised no one mentioned it until page 4, but you americans are [censored] crazy. Anywhere else people know that you are far more likely to get killed if you have a gun with you than if you don't.

"I'd kick myself if one day I needed it and it was in the car."

OP: Excuse me! Mark it zero. Next hand.

Villian: [censored]. OP!

OP: This is not Nam. This is poker. There are rules.

OP: This is a league game. This determines who enters the next tourney, am I wrong?

Guy who invited OP: its just a game, let it go.

Villian: Yeah, but I didnt flip the cards over. Gimme the chips!

OP: (pulls gun out, points it at villian) HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE CRAZY? AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO GIVES A [censored] ABOUT THE RULES? MARK IT ZERO!

Guy who invited OP to the game: they're calling the cops, put the piece away.

OP: YOU THINK I'M [censored] AROUND HERE? MARK IT ZERO!!

Villian: All right! There it is! It's [censored] zero!

Villian: You happy, you crazy [censored]?

OP: This is a league game, Villian!

-if you dont get this, then shame on you

I say this every now and again when I'm dealing at a cardroom and people are getting out of hand with acting out of turn, talking about the hand, etc. Nobody ever gets it.

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.

[lamgabejambo]

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.

[PayToSee]

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.
