I'm more shocked that some would not allow a tradesman to carry in their home. I believe everyone should have the right to carry a gun, with very few exceptions. Far fewer exceptions, I might add, than are currently written into the law. I believe the little plastic "permission slips" we all carry in our wallets are unconstitutional infringements of our God-given rights protected by the Bill of Rights. If someone who is unable to obtain a license to carry is carrying anyway, I'm not going to be the one to get him in trouble over it.
I don't guarantee your safety while you are in my home. You had best provide for that yourself.
If you walk out of my home and see someone stealing from your work truck, I'm not going to shoot him for you. You had best do that yourself.
As long as you are not threatening me or mine, I won't ventilate you. Whether or not you have a gun on you is really just one detail in that equation.
While there is still a practicable means of carrying a gun on my person for the protection of myself and my wife within the confines of the law, I will do so. If the time comes, and it's very much possible that it will, that I am unable to do so while obeying the law, then I will be faced with a decision. I know what I decision I will make. You will have to decide for yourself whether to be an armed criminal or a disarmed serf. Due to some unjust laws, there are those that already have to make this decision. I am not going to call them out over it.
I'd rather have armed visitors in my home instead of unarmed ones that are going to need protection.
I was considering posting a sign near my front door that states "Trespass Warning - Entry on these premises is contingent upon the carrying of a firearm, if you are legally able to do so. If you are legally able to possess and carry a firearm, and you enter these premises without a firearm, then you will be trespassing. No warning will be given in such circumstances before law enforcement is notified of this criminal offense." That way, I can just call the police to have annoying anti-gun visitors taken from my home without having to confront these potentially crazy loons (non-LTC holders can legally carry a firearm as long as it is not a handgun).
Unfortunately, my wife vetoed this idea, and in our house's system of government it is impossible to override her veto.
