    Default Re: Can You Confront Debt Collectors or Ropo Services While Open Carrying a Firearm

    Have you ever known a situation where it happened? I would think it a highly foolish and unsafe thing for a debt collector to do.
    Yes, I do. When the debt was large enough, the debtor was likely to have some assets to pay, and the debtor actively avoiding collection. As I say, it is not common for private debt collectors to do, but there are some that have done it. Yes there are risks. But I used to go out to people's homes all the time when I was an officer for the IRS to collect tax, and while that too carried risk (I got yelled at a lot, called various obsenities, a few times threatened with violence, only one time assaulted and that was not severe) most of my contacts with delinquent taxpayers went just fine. You just have to be aware of what is going on and know the places not to go.

    I wouldn't consider a repo guy to be a debt collector.
    I wasn’t referring to repo men/women, but they certainly are one type of debt collector. That is, after all, the whole reason for them being there to retake the car or whatever other asset is liened, isn’t it, to collect the debt?
