I, too, think it is ironic that your handle, your signature, and your views are in such wide disagreement.
But, beside that, you have said the same thing over and over and over, and I don't think you have swayed anyone to your side. It's getting tiresome now. Please, let it go.
There is nothing at all ironic about my signature, the fact remains that everyman should be able to carry, does that extend into my castle, that depends on the person.
My whole point to this conversation was that someone responded that it shouldn't matter if a CHL person is carrying in your home they are trustworthy, and yet not one person who made that statement could offer any way to verify the claim.
I beleive in dealing with facts and if someone is going to make a claim that you should beleive a person is trustworthy just because he says he has a CHL, well than I have some ocean front property in AZ.
I will tell you something else. What is more on the rise, service people being robbed and attacked making service calls or home invasions? My chances are greater that the guy showing up at the door is going to rob me or worse, than of a service person showing up for a service call.
BG's pretending to be LEO's, and it won't be long before they figure out that they can pretend to be service personel either.
The biggest question is who is at more of a risk of something bad happening? The service man or the homeowner? IMHO I think the homeowner since home invasions are up all over.
Lets just agree to disagree on this topic.
You should know the company that you call. The company SHOULD have the service vehicle marked (rolling billboard for some). If not, I would use another service company. State law requires license numbers to be on the truck as well (A/C, Plumbing, Electrical, Pest control). If not, you should call another company. How would BG know what company you call?
Given this fact, it is a good idea to find a reputable company that you trust in all of the above listed industries and use them. This way you have a working knowledge of the company itself.
We use thesame plumber, electrician, and pest control companies we have used for years (still looking for a good a/c company. LOL). I know the trucks and can identify it as soon as the doorbell rings.
