I once ended a dispute with a roofer by putting a stop payment on a check, he arrived the next day with a giant of a man, a real knuckle dragger. He started poking me in the chest, telling me I was going to pay. I pointed at the roof and when I did my sweatshirt road up, the sun glinted off the S&W 38, nickle plated. The big guy took a big step back and started mumbling, "gun, gun". The roofer also stepped back, started calling me sir, and was gone shortly after. I got a letter from him the next day that said since I didn't pay, his warranty is null and void. Ok by me.
I had a permit so had I needed the gun it would have been legal, this was GA, not NY, much easier to get a carry permit.
We did the roof ourselves, it was weird, but it worked.
