I dont trick or treat nor do I have kids that do. I will be carrying though inside my home for sure. What a great introduction to a home invasion ... BG's will take advantage of unsuspecting home owners handing out candy. Not me.

Absolutely. I have my own two kids to watch out for plus a couple more inlaws' kids that we'll be making the rounds with.

Abso-freakin-lutely! Plus BUG with extra mags for both.

We'll all have a great time, and nobody will have a clue that I'm carrying.

Go as a soldier, LEO, etc. and they all assume its fake (ntil they give me a reason to let them know otherwise...)

We get hundreds of Trick or Treaters so I sit outside in a chair with my three friends Diogi(my dog) and Smith & Wesson.

I live in the first house in my community and people drive their kids and let them out right next to my house and wait for them in the park behind my house. I don't mind the little kids but the teenage hoodlums piss me off!

My daughter only goes to a few houses in the neighborhood then I handout whatever candy she gets to other kids.

I have a costume this year that will allow me to. I won't be trick or treating so much as sitting out front trying to scare the bejeezus out of the little kids coming to my door...

I own and operate two haunted houses. We don't have a lot of security trouble from people but when we do, they are almost always drunks. I'm all about having a good time and most of the drunks are not a problem. But when they get belligerent or violent we toss em out.

Ive got to say though, with as many people as I've met in the industry and all the conventions we attend, this is the first time I've heard of a gun issue at a Haunted House. Hopefully it will be the last one.

Glad to see a number of people carrying and even more glad to see a number of people who are taking the kids trick or treating!

Alex!
