I am sure the "no guns and no drugs" policy was not mentioned when my son rented the room to him. We were talking about something and some how guns were mentioned and that is when I said no guns were aloud in the house. I guess when he cleaned his gun in the living room was a way of showing me he had one. I kept my cool but inside I was churning. I did mention I needed to talk to his mother to make sure she knew he was carrying a gun. It seems, by what he says that his step dad hunts elk and whatever and he comes from a "gun carrying" family.

I went out on a limb trying to give him a chance to get caught up on his rent and now it looks like he will have to leave because of the gun. I do feel bad. But I really shouldn't be feeling so bad because I found out his parents live only 30 miles from my son's house.

I am going back to my son's house tonight to finish some yard work and I will tell him that I have to tell "the owner" he has a gun and they will have to work it out. That way it leaves me out of the middle. I have learned over the years being in the "middle" of anything is a "bad thing" because the one in the middle always gets bitten.

Thanks candybear for your advice. It always helps hearing what other folks think. I think I was "overwhelmed" with feelings. On one hand trying to help out this young man and the other hand this gun issue. It seems my heart (feelings) and my "head" could not get in agreement.
