Valk, Im not trying to pile on here, but I feel an obligation to tell you that if the situation you outlined had escalated and you ended up in court on a gun related charge, I think that the majority here, if on the jury,would probably have voted to convict.

CHL or not, you cannot initiate a confrontation and expect to be able to use your weapon to settle what basically is a civil matter. Think it through, there are so many avenues you can take to ensure your property rights and they all are cheaper than using your gun.

Im sure one of our fellow lawyers will be by soon and have something to contribute.

We have to allow access to easements on our property & the contractors can do what is necessary to gain access, such as removing fencing and portable buildings that may be on the easement.

I have had positive experiences when dealing with contractors working on my easements. I generally meet them and ask what the scope of work is. I then ask questions and express my concerns. I offer them access to my water hydrant/hose, maybe some cold drinking water, shady spot in the yard, etc.

The contractors appreciate my consideration and often do a little extra for me, & at the least have always repaired any damage and left my property in good shape. What goes around, comes around.
