I'm a college student and I live with my parents. They have a pretty laissez-faire attitude about my guns except they do not like it when I open carry.
My father expressed concern that a criminal who saw me carry would follow me home, scope out the house, then come back in the middle of the night or early morning and break-in to steal the guns.
He went further and said that my guns were the only thing valuable in the house that a criminal would be motivated to take, so the tools I bought to defend myself and my family put us in more danger than if we didn't have any guns at all. He then requested that I abstain from carrying a gun until I get an AZCCW permit when I turn 21.
Does this make sense? Does advertising that you have guns make one's house a target for criminals? Have any of you OC'd one day to find your gun collection missing the next?
