You got to be careful how each officer interprets the law. Several years ago we had a situation with trespassers and I mentioned to the deputy that I always have my "licensed" handgun with me. He then informed me that it was not a good idea to take the weapon with me to confront the trespassers.
His reasoning was that if something happened and there was a shooting or fight, he would charge me, the legal landowner, with "going armed with intent". He stated that the "trespasser" was hunting, but I went looking for a fight when I took my gun with me.
He said to first call the law, then tell the "trespasser" to leave, if they have not left in a "timely" manner then he would step in.
Food for thought.
