Last week I made an overnight trip to Ellington Field in Houston to attend a military change of command ceremony. As "dangerous weapons and guns" are not allowed on military bases I was concerned about making the entire trip unarmed just because for a few hours I would be in a place that prohibited carrying. I even called the base security office to confirm the rules. After some thinking and google searching, I contacted Scopesmith, on Gulf freeway about 4 miles from the base, and asked if they could store my Sig for a few hours. I received a quick reply of yes and was also assured "no charge". When I arrived at the store Jose was very friendly and willing to help me out. He locked my gun in his safe and I went about my business and picked it up about 5 hours later, offering to pay but was again told no charge. Awesome customer service and very friendly!I'll be stopping in next time I'm in Houston.

I sure hope that one day we will be able to carry on a military reservation.

This is awesome. Thanks for the recommendation.

I had a similar experience at The Arms Room when I visited NASA last year. It is good to know that the local shops down in the area are cognizant of the special needs of folks visiting from afar.
