In Minnesota CCW (Concealed carry weapon) is legal.  But I've never carried one to a visit because I figure it might scare the provider.  How do providers feel about someone who is packin' (and also, someone who is carrying a weapon?

Unless the provider knows you, I'm sure the first thought will be LE.  But beyond that, why would you bring your firearm into a situation where you know you will not have control of it at all times? What is the point? Trying to impress someone?  That is just plain irresponsible. Unless the provider knows in advance and is comfortable AND has a safe (which is unlikely) I'd say just leave it at home.  

Honestly, I find it hard to believe someone with a permit would even consider such a thing let alone pose the question here.  To me that's a topic way too serious for this board..... some things just dont need to be discussed. And the fact someone who claims to have a permit even would consider such a thing disturbs me.

Only because I knew she would be ok with it.
Keep in mind that if you happen to get caught doing anything illegal, even with a CC permit, having a handgun on your person may increase any penalties.

Check with a lawyer as to what happens to a crime if the person committing the crime is legally carrying a weapon.

Rather than ask you why ? or question the motive behind your curiosity of the subject.
I will spell out the penalty for such an action, if you were found to be in possession of a firearm
during the commission of a crime. there would be the enhanced charge of possession of  a firearm
during the commission of a crime, and thus your misdemeanor, become an automatic felony, which would likely mean that, the individual who is arrested and charged, would spend some time in lockup.

Would bring a gun to a session. It serves no "real purpose" as I was told recently.

Please do not take this the wrong way. I appreciate  your passion, and you are going in the right direction.  But if the only crime charged is misdemeanor prostitution (gross misdemeanor  too) where both parties agreed to engage in an illegal act, the firearm is not part of the commission. (Think robbery, assault, burglary, drug deal, etc., where the weapon could be used to carry out the crime.)  Therefore there would be no increased penalty.  However, the misdemeanor conviction would likely result in the permit being rescinded.... I think for minimum of three years...but could be wrong.  Remember that for purposes of prostitution, hotels  / motels are considered public places, and prostitution in a public place is a gross misdemeanor.

Safety is leaving the gun at home or in your car. Taking it in to see a provider goes way beyond foolish.  

Obviously it is no longer concealed when you have to take your cloths off.  Plus regardless where on your body you carry it, anyone up close and intimate is going to feel something hard -- and not that other hard thing.

No way you have a permit and write with such recklessness. Whom are you trying to impress?

Sorry I triggered you.  I hope you have a safe space and a fainting couch handy.  Does anyone have some smelling salts???

This would not apply in a residence with just two adults.   MN does have a law which prohibits leaving a weapon where a child under 18 my easily access it.  I don't believe it has ever been enforced, though.

In this case, do you KNOW the provider? If so, then why the need?

If you actually have a permit to carry, I think we all need a safe space.

You darn sure best pray you are fully dressed when I discover it & send you flying!!!  out the door!

Taking a gun in to see a provider. But then I guess you must be in some shady neighborhoods looking for some eh! Grow some balls and live a little. Better yet, see the wrong chick and watch her take your little toy gun off you and pop your ass. Now that would truly be a happy ending.

What a pussy you are. You need a gun to feel brave peewee?😗

Stirring up trouble. Maybe has a job as a mall cop and is a wannabe without a gun.

Best thing a provider has said all day!
I think all of you should send him packing anyway. Or don't even schedule with him would be safer. Obviously needs mental help.

Obviously by your wording You want to be told "OH that's so Hot... I Love a man that's packin'."
The pop psychologist in me says your posting and fantasy is rooted in low self esteem, perhaps stemming from performance issues, but I'm not a psychologist and I don't want to appear to be too judgmental.

Apparently you aren't well versed in the law.  

I recommend all providers obtain CCW permits and arm themselves.

Minnesota allows either open or concealed carry.

I had a conversation with a provider once about weapons.  She said she'd just been robbed the night before.  I wondered if I should carry while in her neighborhood but she said it had happened elsewhere.  Anyhow we started discussion what sort of gun she should get.  

Most gun ranges in the cities offer required classes to obtain a ccw permit.  Typically a six hour class that costs $150.  Then the MN permit application costs another $100.  And, of course, the purchase of the weapon can be hundreds of dollars.

I would certainly feel more secure carrying a weapon in a strange neighborhood at night than if not.  But you make my point -- providers, having typically female builds that are slighter than the average male, would benefit from an equalizer such as a concealed handgun.  

I find it interesting that, with all of the posts and all of the discussions, not one lady has chimed in

Because why????

What a troll.  I've forgotten  more about the law than you'll ever know.  Nothing you wrote is new.  You are the one who started this thread by calling it "CCW" which is totally  incorrect. So right  from the start you provided misinformation.  You are the one who claims to have a permit, you recommend carrying concealed, and offered to take women to the range, but you asked one of the dumbest questions ANYONE with a permit and half a brain could ask.  People with permits and people who actually  carry wouldn't even ask such a moronic question.

To prove your ignorance on this topic. Why would you recommend all providers carry? Why would you recommend someone to do something they are not comfortable doing? Especially when the consequences  can be lethal?

It's her place and she doesn't want someone she doesn't really know to have a gun in her place.  Or maybe she just doesn't want any guns around.  Doesn't matter, though, does it? Her place. Her rules.  If she says no Greek or no CIM, do you argue or ask why? Should be no different.

Most guys don't want to see a provider with guns lying around. It's one thing to know how to shoot, it's quite another to deal with a BSC with a gun.

Do you even know the statistics on how many people could hit a target from 10 feet away let alone a moving target?  

Go ahead and be judgemental. The OP is a moron.

Why would a provider do this when many can't even afford VIP here?

A few observations here, I have personally known of 3 providers who did carry a concealed weapon.
of the 3 total, 2 of those providers were legal. and the third, I am unaware of status. The fact is, one of the three is still an active member, and has profiles and ads listed on the various sites to this day. And No I will not divulge her identity.  

Can't draw worth a shit. Hoping TCGuy pops in with a good video. Might be hard to find but if anyone can...

Yes, you are correct in your statement.  
Keeping in mind, I am not stating a judgement here, however, if you were to decide to open carry, has anyone considered the possible reactions of others ?

If I encounter an armed provider but do not see the weapon, how would I know she had one?  (Do you mean she said she was carrying but didn't show it?)   If I knew the woman  from a previous meeting and for some reason we had talked about this topic and I knew she had a permit, I would not be bothered.

I'm fine with it as I plan to strip her naked and keep her occupied to her satisfaction as well as mine. This way she won't be shooting me in the back as I leave, unlike peewee Lester.

If you feel strongly about it, you might consider putting it in your ads as a show stopper.  There are a quarter million CCW holders in Minnesota, and it is perfectly legal.  So you might end up confronting this very situation if you don't forewarn.

I thought the requirement is, post a sign. If I am wrong, I stand corrected.

Okay, I admit, my post has some baited questions and statements. Thanks for posting your thoughts, as your reply is spot on, How is one to know ? and this is the point exactly.

...Some years ago I set up an outcall session with a provider that advertised in one of the entertainment mags. When she came to my door I let her in & she drew a revolver from her purse & threatened to shoot me if I didn't give her all my money. More guns on the street equals more dead people it's that simple!

Ask the guy to leave? Forsake Ben? None, zero, nada, zilch, zippo, nil...

 If it is as you have stated, and just playing devils advocate with this question.  
 Picture this, a client shows up to an appointment armed.  
 In absence of a posted sign, the provider instead asks the client to leave.  
 I wonder how many providers would actually ask a client to leave ? and forsake getting the Bens  
 in the process.  
   
 

Where's the hobby guy video???

It's probably difficult to find a video of Peewee and his little 6-shooter strapped to his thigh. Maybe one of him lying in the gutter though?😗

I "dabble" in this hobby for extra fun. If you are bringing a firearm or any weapon, I don't want anything to do with you or anyone you see.

While I do understand where you are coming from, and can even agree with your view.
I can also understand how, Concealed means Concealed unless you need it.

Thanks Scarlettmarie.
