In my spare time, I have a small part-time service business I run, which involves visiting private residences for service calls. What concerns, or situations, should I be aware of regarding concealed carry into other people's private home? I'm not even sure if there is anything in the law regarding this scenerio, but I can see myself in this situation, and would like any comments or suggestions regarding this.

Thanks!

Ask the DA or your instructor. Not someones opinion.

From purely a legal viewpoint, as long as the residence doesn't have a proper 30.06 sign and the homeowner hasn't verbally told you that guns are not allowed, then you can enter without committing a crime. Also, as long as you don't intentionally fail to conceal your handgun, you don't violate TPC 46.035(a) if your gun inadvertently becomes visible.

You probably will get varying opinions based on ethical or personal values, but in my view, that is a matter of personal opinion that no one can answer for you.

Homeowner is not a business 30.06sign. Read the parts about private property rights, you must have their permission. CHL does not override property rights. Your a stranger on someone land.

AAAAAhhhhhhh.... No... You must ask the property owner period...!!!!! Or you can face trespassing and armed, double wham for you.
If you came on my property/home and I found you had a gun.. you might be 2 seconds from needing a will..!!!! Becouse I dont KNOW YOU!!! NOR TRUST you in my home... Put the shoe on the other foot, if they see part of a gun or "more so" an impression of one.
It's their Castle..
