I do not allow strangers who knock on my door into my home. What is so wrong with wanting to know if someone in my home is carrying a weapon? For the record, I drive a new truck, own my own home and work as a consultant. As for running the LTCH, I don't run it, just seeing the pink slip is good enough for me. Sure it could be fake, but thats a risk I take. Why is it such a bad thing that I decide who comes into my house carrying a weapon? My friends don't get asked when they come over because I know they do not carry weapons or do carry weapons and I am fine with that. Its the complete stranger knocking on my door to fix my toilet that I don't want armed in my house.
Does anyone really think if a stranger standing at your front door who plans Ill harm to you or anyone else is going to truthfully answer the question "Are you carrying a weapon?".
Almost weekly I sit directly behind our pastor exercising my valid LTCH. He doesn't know I carry nor do I know if he carry's. Nor does anyone else around me or anyone else around them.
I think as an experiment the next time a contractor comes to my house I'm gonna ask.
1. Do you have a valid Indiana LTCH?
2. If no, follow up with why not.
3. If yes, follow up with are you exercising that LTCH.
4. If yes to #3, follow up with welcome to my home.
5. If no to #3 follow up with why not.
