actually.. I can see more of a reason for a plumber, electrician or carpenter to be asking you about a gun in the home.
Since they will actually be working in that home and likely don’t want to be surprised by the firearm when they find it.
Since I work as an electrician I simply tell the homeowner the areas of the home I am going to be working in and ask them to think about that area and remove anything they might not want me to find.
That way I don’t find “other” things. The gun would not bug me.

I was thinking that way, but decided not to go that far...but you are qualified to do so.
