Will you carry while Trick 'R Treating? - Page 2

My vote "Yes" may be an expansion of what you mean by "Trick 'R Treating" as I will not be out collecting but opening the door giving.

However, why treat opening the door on that night ant different?

Don't celebrate the pagan ritual. "No candy" signs on the door tell the story to the neighbors. Live with it.

lets see.......
will I be awake...Yes, in the shower....no

then I will be carrying

but then again, just remembered I'll be on duty the evening of Halloween

REVMAN · October 27th, 2009, 12:03 PM

Just another day. I'll have my pants on so I'll be carrying!

Janq · October 27th, 2009, 12:05 PM

Of course.

Why wouldn't I or anyone?
Same as I or anyone might carry when they leave their home to do anything else.

Only thing I do different and special for Halloween is to carry openly and as activated my tac light for purpose not of seeing where I'm going but for keeping an eye on the periphery as related to who else might be out there.
Yes we do travel in packs among lots of other kids and parents.
But still it's under a moon sky and in darkness crime consistently occurs most consistently, though not specifically because the day is Halloween and thus for some reason more or less different than any other date on a calendar.

People fall victim to crime and are killed on Christmas too, also a day I and others will carry when leaving their home.

I believe dressing up children and taking them to unfamiliar homes to ask for candy is highly irresponsible.

Worked in Newark, NJ for 20 yrs................never liked being there on Holloween...even armed and during the day.

YES!
I just open carry as part of the costume, and it doesn't scare the sheep.

I just take my kids to a Trunk or Treat at our church. Members line their cars up in the parting lot trunk out, put out a few decorations, and pass out wrapped candy only. The trick or treating gets done in about 30 minutes where we are only going to families we know in a well lit area. No walking up to unknown strangers or houses and asking for candy.

Yep, just another day so will carry as usual.

Yes Sir!

Already spoke to wife about plan. Since it falls on a Sat (no work that day to cause a late start), were going to get out early and hit it. Since we only go to the neighbors we associate with (those are the one's whose children also play with our children in the cul-de-sac), we should be done early. Depending on the time, might drive to the mall and walk around and let the shorties get more candy for Daddy…I mean for them! We do have an unwritten rule…that Daddy has to taste… I mean inspect ALL candy before any is eaten!

My joy is watching my 5yr, 3yr, and 10mth, smile and have fun. But you best believe I will have a +P treat for anybody who attempts to take that smile away!

Be safe…and remember it's for the kids!
