I don't think it is appropiate because it is my home. It is not a place of business, it is my personal home, my castle. I also believe it creates the potential for a dangerous situation. Truth be known I never really thought much about it until it was brought up in this forum. I believe most businesses will have a company policy against allowing thier technicians to carry while on a service call. There is a huge liability issue for the company in case of an AD or ND.

I suspect that most people on this forum if they are being truthful would feel the same if all of a sudden they noticed thier repairman carrying a weapon even if its an inadverdent flash.

With that said I guess for some reason I thought that private residence would be protected with the whole my home is my castle thing. It appears that I was wrong, but am glad that I now know what the law says.

The only firearm bearing person I want in my house is myself, family or good friends. I do not want a total stranger carrying a firearm inside my house.

I have been educated now and will act appropiately in the future to prevent repairman from entering my house while armed.

TXI as I said before, this is just my opinion. If someone chooses a line of work that they know will require them to enter peoples homes, ehy that is thier choice. If they think it is too dangerous find other work.

It appears that the law allows this, I on the other hand think it is wrong. We will just have to agree to disagree on this and move on.

IMHO carrying into someones home who is a customer is just bad business. I would think most businesses that sent out repair reps ECT... would have a no gun policy in effect for entering a customers home. I don't care about them leaving it in the vehicle, but I don't want someone I don't know entering my home with a loaded gun. I have no idea what kind of training that person has, and a AD in my home from someone performing a service that I am paying for is going to amount to a huge lawsuit on someone.

Family or friends that I know is one thing, a person performing a service is quite another animal all together. I can't imagine a business allowing thier employees to go armed into a private citizens home to perform work. IMHO it is not a good idea.
