Beaumont, March 25: A woman homeowner asked furniture deliverymen to remove their shoes before entering the house. They refused, saying it was against company policy, and pointed out that they had protective coverings on their shoes.

"An argument ensued," ending when the homeowner produced a handgun.

No telling whether the homeowner had religious or cultural reasons or was just real picky about her carpets.

There are two sides to every story. We have the delivery men's side. I'll wait for the homeowners side before developing an opinion.

Talk about a clean freak!

It is her house so it is her right if she doesn't want people to enter her house with shoes. But as delivery people if they don't want take their shoes off then they leave the stuff on the porch.

my mom has never gone quite that far...but we knew at a very early age to never walk in a room and mess up the fresh vacuum cleaner lines in the carpet!

If I was a furniture mover, I'd wear steel-toed boots. I'd only take them off at gun point too. Sure she has a right to ask people to remove their shoes. I'd refuse, and take the furniture back where it came from.

IMO, this is the essence of the origin of the "Castle Doctrine."
