Would you feel okay with your child's DCP having locked guns in the house?
My friend's DCP's husband is like gun enthusiast. He is able to carry them in his car, in the house. They are locked. I told her I wouldn't be comfortable. She told me that her parent's house also have guns hidden so she doesn't seem to mind.
Would that be a deal breaker for you?
(This is not to start a gun debate-- just if you feel comfortable in your provider's home)
ETA: Do you think this is something they should disclose during an interview?
Re: DCP has guns in the house
That would be a dealbreaker for me.
If they were kept secure and I had no doubt that my children had zero access to them, I would be okay with it.
this 100%
Just having guns in the home would not bother me per se, but I would assume I would be allowed to see where and how they are kept and the husband's CHL license.
Yes, it should be disclosed upfront.
My parents have guns locked in the house for hunting. My step-dad is VERY careful and I trust him 100%. Heck, I never even knew where they were growing up (still don't), that's how hidden away they are.
I do not trust anyone else, and would no
As far as disclosure goes, it's probably a good idea because some parents do have strong feelings and should be able to decide for thei
Honestly, I don't feel comfortable with what you posted. Why do the guns need to be carried between the car and the house? And why is your friend comfortable with "hidden" guns? That sounds like an unsafe mentality, like they are very
I would be fine with it as long as they are absolutely locked away. We have two guns in the house, both in safes. Neither are loaded. No one would ever know where they are exept DH and I. I guess NC is kind of a gun-friendly state. Most people
If the guns were locked away in a gun safe 100% of the time like my dh's are then fine.
But some people are idiots
I would have to know them really, really well. As in, if it was an in home DC, it was someone that I knew for a long time and started taking my kids there later on.
I wasn't comfortable with the in homes in my
I would be expecting that they are either %100 locked away out of sight in a proper gun safe OR that they be giving the kids a run-down on gun-safety. I grew up in a house with firearms and we learned at a very young age NOT to touch guns and bullets w
No Gun debate here...first off.
I grew up with Guns in my house. I grew up going to the gun range with my father and my DD goes with him all the time. I currently only have one rifle in my house. However, we will be getting fire arms in the near

This Cluttered Life
What if DCP's husband was a police officer and brought home a department issued firearm?
The DCP is licensed.
I know our DCP is licensed and she is required to have everyone in the house to have a clean cori/sori.
I believe that he has a lock box in his car. I have no idea why he carries them at all times, but he does.&n
This would never be an issue for me because here in Chicago (very generally speaking) the only people who carry guns or have them at home are cops or gangbangers.
So no I would never in one million years send my kids to a day care provider

I didn't have to read past the subject line-BIG NO for me. My husband was a sniper in the US Army. He knows how to use a gun and keep one safe. Even HE does not want a gun in our home. My brother in law is a prison sargeant. He
It would be a deal breaker for me. I don't want guns in our house, just because I don't see the need for one. As for a dcp, I don't care how they are stored, no one can guarantee they will always be locked a stored correctly. It is not a risk I would b

My Parents and ILs have guns in their houses and I trust my child in their homes. However, I would not trust a DCP that had guns in their house.
However, there are lots of reasons why in home DCPs would not be an option for me and I think this i
