Problem you have is that your in-laws know ANYTHING about you carrying. What they don't know won't hurt them.

I only carry a gun when I know I'm going to need it.
I also only put on my seatbelt when I'm about to crash.
I am SO getting a "visitor's gun" and holster to issue to my unarmed guests! Either a Hi-Point, so they feel properly chastised, or a fancy 1911, in an attempt to win them over.

I'm not married so my thoughts may differ from yours. Anyway, I would have went and just left it in the truck at their home. It's not worth starting family drama over imo. After all, their house, their rules.
Now if you don't like the inlaws, and the wife won't blow you crap over not going, then keep doing what you did today. After a while of non attendance, they may change their tune.
Then there is always just cc, stfu, and don't give hugs.
We still don't know why the OP's in-laws asked him not to carry in their house. Especially after he had done so on numerous occasions. Maybe they are just mean or maybe...
...they are sackless and didn't want to do it themselves, hence having their daughter do it for them.
Or maybe...

Many years ago I was doing a bullet casting demo for some INGOers at a get together when the question circulated about who was carrying what. I had nothing and when asked why I said, with all the good folks around me all I had to do was drop to the ground.
