I would not want anyone in my house illegally carrying though. The reason we get CHL is for protection. The plumber in this case should get his CHL if he feels the need to carry on the job. I welcome CHL holders at my office and my home.

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.

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......

I thought we were supposed to use scissors for self defense, I mean that is what DHS says right?

Only if you are a teacher.... And probably only if school is in session.....

I'd politely let him know that his pistol is visible. It's not really such a big deal. I've had 2 LEOs who did the same for me when I accidentally exposed while at a hospital (same hospital both times, different LEOs, no 30.06).

In the reverse scenario: The other day I was working in my garage/wood shop and was not wearing an over shirt so my pistol was in plain view. Our municiple water guy showed up to check on our water pipes because of a leak I reported. He did his business and then came up to give me a report on what they were going to do. He saw my gun and it turns out he's a CHL as well. Needless to say, we spent more time talking guns than he spent checking the leak. LOL. No muss, no fuss.

Before anyone starts cautioning me about OC on my property while in plain view....

1) It's perfectly legal.
2) I know my neighbors and they're all ok.
3) I've got several LEOs who live in the immediate area and they have no issues with it either.
