Good point

The first part of this sentence makes me think you're giving your
personal opinion. I'm looking for some halachic guidance.

The standard 'Net response to that one is CYLOR, but I
suspect that a legal consultation might also be in order
if you are seriously concerned, whether you are the prospective
guest or host.

Let me go further. If I were taking the pills to delay dying, or
female and taking the birth control pills, and I wanted to visit my
friends, I'd probably just bring them and take them and not tell the
friend. I"m not the smartest guy in the world, and I can't think of a
basis for a rule that says i can't. "The owner is the king of his
castle" only goes back to medieval England afaik, and I can't think of
anythign that goes back further.


The gun is dangerous and harder to hide and goes thunk when dropped on
the floor, louder than anything else I ever carry would except maybe a
whole laptop.

The book is hard to relate to, because since Moby ***, i've pretty
much stayed away from books as long as Das Kapital unless they are
Jew-oriented. (The book example was chosen because a book isn't
dangerous. The birth control pill was chosen because it comes with
the requirement that one can't just skip a few days without
consequences, like one can with a book. And the life-saving pill was
chosen to make it a matter of life and death. Now that still doesn't
make it a requirement to stay at the friend's, but for the sake of
argument, let's assume one must.)

Sig: I don't want to spend as much time on the net as I once did, or in newsgroups. In the past I responded to almost any reply to me, because I thought silence meant assent to some people. But it shouldn't.

So once I make my points, I may not reply again. Especially if no new arguments are made on the other side. Please don't take that to mean you have convinced me or anyone.
