There's no reason for you to cleanse. A gun show is different from a local store who expressly denies your right to bear arms in order to buy something from them. Besides, we're talking about a BIG purchase, and every sale they lose is, in fact, a big deal. I think you handled it right, but you should have added that you were going to find another dealer that wasn't posted.jmorris wrote:Week ago last Saturday I went to the gun show at Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio. On the way out I passed a Ford truck display for Red McCombs. The salesman asked if he could give me a free gift. I told him it wouldn't do him any good and he asked why. I said I wasn't allowed in their showroom. He looked perplexed and again asked why. I told him, I have a CHL and I always carry, your showroom is posted 30.06 and I'm not allowed in. He looked at a loss for words and I walked away.
Then I realized just what a hypocrite I was. I had just left the gun show, which was posted 30.06, and for which I unholstered and left the weapon in the vehicle, just to see if I could get some good deals.
So, no more 30.06 gun shows for me.
Zip tying is not an option. One is asked if one has magazines or ammo. I won't lie, so I can't carry that in.
Thanks for listening, just cleansing the soul.
