Re: [Leica] the right to bear arms in my house...

I gotta agree with their choice of photos for their purpose. Your choice
would be much better if you were trying to advertise the gun.

As a gun owner and a holder of a carry permit, I feel that it is in poor
taste to "carry" into someones home. Nor am I comfortable leaving a firearm
(or Leica) in a car unattended. If the individual really felt the need to
carry, he should have unloaded it, put it in a brown paper bag and asked you
to lock it up for him or kept it concealed and not brandished it. I do hope
that he unloaded it before handing it to you. The second amendment does not
give anyone the right to violate your policy as to what goes on in your
home.
