So I am aware that in order to obtain a CCW permit, one must fall under a certain set of circumstances. Two of the circumstances are being a business owner (under some more circumstances) and personal protection. My situation is as follows:
My partner (female) and I are the owners of a real estate investing company, and we typically enter foreclosed homes in order to inspect the condition of the property. More often than not the houses have been vandalized by a bunch of punks who break in to do drugs, or have broken into the house to steal the copper piping out of the walls.
So far my experiences have included going into a house where I came across open needles and small plastic bags (heroin presumably), multiple homes where the walls have been ripped open with copper just being ripped out. My most recent experience was a property that we are in the midst of acquiring as we speak. We entered the property last week and everything was in (relatively) good condition. I returned to the property without my partner today to find the door kicked in an the copper taken out of the basement. While I was looking around the exterior of the house to survey what has gone on, one of the neighbors came over and started asking me a bunch of questions, thinking that I was someone who was trying to trash the house.
Every time I go into a house for the first time, I get pretty tensed up and concerned as to what I'm going to find when I open the front door. Luckily I am yet to walk into a house where the perp was still there, but the law of averages says my luck is bound to run out at some point. What if I walk in to some guy hopped up on heroin or something? It's an even bigger concern for me when my partner is with me. As much as a big mag-lite can be used as a blunt force weapon , it's not really going to be enough if shtf. So my question to the forum is whether or not this would be enough of a reason to be granted a CCW?
