I carried the smallest handgun I own,,,
Because my brother, who is a liberal musician,,,
Said his girlfriend (an otherwise sweetheart) was nervous.

So I promised them that they wouldn't even know I was carrying.

My Taurus 25-PLY stayed in my pocket the entire time.
(Even when another guest started playing his banjo.)

To their credit they didn't say "Do not carry a gun in my house.",,,
She simply stated her nervousness about "live" guns,,,
So my brother asked me to keep it hidden.

I respected their wishes.

Around

I love this answer, lol. Seriously though, with a nervous girl friend and a liberal musician brother, I would say they handled it very well. Many others would have faced banishment. I have a suggestion aaroundghraham. Offer to take your brother and his sister target shooting! Worked for my wife and sister in law!
