“actually.. I can see more of a reason for a plumber, electrician or carpenter to be asking you about a gun in the home.”
I was thinking that way, but decided not to go that far...but you are qualified to do so.
When I go in to a home to do my job finding a loaded gun is very low on the list of things I have seen that would “scare” me.
Matter of fact, I have never had my life threatened by a loaded gun that a home owner has hidden in their home..
And I never will.
My life is only threatened when that loaded gun is in the hand(s) of a human with bad intentions.
