Gigag04, I know from other posts that you are a LEO.

Do you carry a sidearm in the home as well? If I stepped over the line asking this, I apologize, and you don't need to answer, if that is the case.

Just asking, since I'm not yet comfortable with a handgun. Also I have two little boys, and wish to minimize their coming into contact with it.

I'm very comfortable with shotguns and rifles, I grew up with them and know how to handle them safely. Just had very little access to handguns growing up, so this is a new experience for me.
I got to fire them quite a bit at military ranges with my father, but that was the extent of it. (I'm actually a pretty good shot) I'll post my ccw renewal course target sometime.

As always, I wish to gain insight from those with experience. :tiphat:

Everyone, please feel free to comment.

TIA

What.. I was in the middle of putting the Free Floating hand-guard rails on, and they weren't tight yet, so I opened the door, and tightened it as I talked to the guy.
I knew he was coming though, he was my exterminator. He then came inside and did his job ;) :thumbs2:

Also.. turns out the guy I had install my new AC system last year was a CHL as well. I had a Colt handgun box in my garage, and he saw it, and we got talking about guns ;)

Using an intercom is better than not answering at all. At least they won't think the house is empty and easy target.
I've considered getting one of those for that exact purpose. Also, I'm lazy and sometimes don't want to be bothered to get up :lol:
