How would you have handled it?txinvestigator wrote:Just a thought. You had words with the guys and told them to leave. They said make me, so you went and got a gun.
That could easily be taken as threatening. What were you going to do with the gun? You can't use Deadly Force to prevent trespassing.
You handled this poorly.

You do not need to conceal your handgun on your own property, or property "under your control"
Legally, you were fine in retrieving your gun in open view.
I won't comment on weather it was the "right" thing to do (I'm sure there'll be plenty of discussion on that), only noting that the tresspassers got off your property, and everyone ended up safe.
Based on what you say, I don't see any reason for the police to have a reasoan to write DPS about the incident in regards to your CHL.
