In January of 2008, we had a similar discussion.
My own participation begins here: viewtopic.php?p=152497#p152497" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (page 3)
You'll see me beging to come around in attitude here: viewtopic.php?p=152725#p152725" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (page 4)
I have evolved even further since, and today I honestly just don't worry about it at all. But I think that my posts on pages 3 and 4 of that thread neatly summarize the OP's concerns. To the OP, eventually you'll relax about the whole thing.

Re: What would you say to a repair guy if you saw his gun
This looks like it might do the job for a service contractor:MotherBear wrote:If you're carrying in a tool bag, I would seriously look into some way to either give the gun a completely separate pocket (i.e. one that you won't be opening to get out your tools) or make sure that if someone does get a glimpse of it, it looks like the gun is contained in some way meant for the purpose. Maybe a holster sewn or velcroed into the bag. I'm not sure exactly how to express what I'm trying to say, but basically, if I happened to glance into an open tool bag and see a gun lying in there with the wrenches and whatever, or just sort of shoved in somewhere, my level of concern is going to go up. I'd feel safer if it looks like it belongs there. "Oh, yeah, I carry that because sometimes I run into wildlife underneath buildings." Huh, makes sense, looks legit... no biggie. I generally picture a criminally carried gun as being shoved into a waistband or backpack or something, so I'd avoid that look.

Re: What would you say to a repair guy if you saw his gun
Well I apologize for the Mae West reference. It was a bit off-color, although I thought it would be over the heads of 10 year old daughters. I did not mean to offend. But my second post was not an attempt to be crude, but rather a jest echoing the singularly bad advice given by democrats to women being assaulted, in response to handog's jesting advice run away and hide. Again, my apologies

Re: What would you say to a repair guy if you saw his gun
Phew! I thought you were going to tell me that I have to blow a whistle, defecate, and tell him that I'm menstruating.......and I wasn't sure how I was going to pull that last one off.......without holding up the repair work......handog wrote:Remain calm, do not engage the repair guy.
If it is possible to escape the area safely, do so quietly.
If you Cannot safely exit the building, seek shelter in a room where the doors can be locked or barricaded securely.
Do not open the door until you can be positive that it is a police officer coming to help you.

Ask him if he's glad to see me.
