You could always bring the gun in unloaded, in a gun case or other container, and give the case to the gunsmith to open. You then haven't un-concealed anything. But, yeah, common sense "should" prevail.

I've often wondered about that. Is it legal to in-conceal in a place where the person in charge has approved it? Please note I'm talking about specific isolates instances (such as the limited exposure that is possible in a private LGS), as opposed to "the Walmart manager said I could do it at the register (which I'd never consider to be appropriate!).

Technically, it is not even legal for you to un-conceal in your friends house with his permission. But in either case, somebody would have to make a complaint to the police for any action to be taken. I suppose in the case of the gun store, a LEO might be present without your knowledge. But I believe it would be unlikely a LEO would take any action if you had the owners permission Just be aware there is no exception in the law to cover these exposures.
