Yes he researched and HE concluded it was "illegal",

No.

He researched it and concluded it would be illegal for him to conceal and carry a loaded firearm on his person in her state. What he did, transporting a firearm and ammunition in a container, was almost certainly legal. He did after all do research, and has evidence (carry permit) of being strictly law abiding.

As I already said whether legal or not is moot, it is the deception the OP needs to worry about...

The home owner controls what comes into the house & what doesn't. 

We have a 2nd home.  MIL's BF routinely carries a gun.  I hate guns.  The gun stays in the car when I am in that house.  BIL & SIL smoke but not inside our house.  Other friends "indulge" in marijuana.  I am 420 hostile; that stuff does not come in our house either.

Legal isn't the determining factor but it is a factor.  Stuff I don't like isn't coming in my house period but if the stuff is illegal I will call the cops & I will testify against the person who brought illegal things around me.  I have done it before & will do it again, no problem.   

If somebody wants to stop being associated with me because of my views, OK.  That is their choice.  My choice has been expressed.

Yeah, she said she didn't mind the gun per se.

Then it's fine for her.  Her house.  Her rules.

Maybe these are my "New York values" talking here, but if there isn't a gun in the house, it's unlikely for someone to get shot accidentally or otherwise. 

You are entitled to maintain boundaries, especially when it comes to your home. But if you're dating a gun enthusiast, I would expect this to be an issue once your relationship progresses. Because if bringing an unloaded gun into your house is his "f--k you" to your anti-gun stance, that's going to be a point of contention.
