Any gun show:
Pull mag, put in pocket. Clear weapon. Hand weapon to tie wrap guy. Take it back. Go enjoy show. _________________ ‘What’s the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits’ |

I clear the gun in my car, in the gun show parking lot. I then re-holster with the slide locked back, walk up to the desk and hand it to them to get it tied.
I'm more comfortable doing that than clearing it with a bunch of people around me. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

I meant to say, do it in your car so when you walk up all you have to do is hand your gun to the tie wrap guy. _________________ ‘What’s the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits’ |

I carry tie wraps in my back pack, that I use at every show. At my truck, I open the door, pop the mag and put it in my pocket, rack the slide and put the round in my pocket, tie the weapon with one of my tie wraps and walk to the show. I hand the tie guy my tied weapon, get the thank you for having my weapon pre secured, holster my weapon and enter the show. No muss no fuss. Been doing it that way since 1978...never a problem.

WAC show... No Loaded Mags...
Rules of the Road Updated 11/3/13 from Gun News received 11/2/13. New language is in bold, deleted language is struck through. All text will either be removed (if struck) or returned to normal typeface (if new language) on or about 2/15/14. There will be no loaded firearms, magazines, or speedloaders in the building, either on the tables or on one’s person, with the exception of law enforcement with valid agency credentials. and private security officers under contract with WAC. Q: Why is WAC so uptight that they actually BAN concealed and open carry at all their events? We are tenants of our venues and in order to continue our existence require both places that will rent to us and companies that will insure us at even vaguely reasonable rates. Regrettably, WAC’s current carry policies at the shows are dictated by both our venue landlords and our insurance carriers – a condition suffered by every other gun show organizer in the State of Washington – who as a result, have a similar rule. https://washingtonarmscollectors.org/ab ... -the-road/ |

The part that got me (Sunday at the Dome) was that Wolf proffered his ticket and walked straight in. I displayed my ticket roughly one second behind him, but I was stopped to have my purse searched. I asked, "For what?" The employee said, "Weapons."
Meanwhile, Wolf was disappearing into the distance, so I yelled to him "Honey! My purse is being searched!" I tried to hand the purse to said employee, but he said I should just "hold it open". I did so, he peered in at my granola bars, notebook and Kleenex and waved me on. How the flying fuck am I to present a cleared handgun to the ziptie table if I'm intercepted outside the door and searched? I did not hash words with the employee since he seemed more than a little slow. (Mildly retarded, developmentally disabled, whatever the modern jargon is.) Nevertheless, I'm peeved and considering a letter to Wes Knodel. _________________ Renaissance Woman: I do everything, just not very well.

We surmised as much, but it's still annoying, especially being singled out for a singularly ineffective "search". (The only thing his cursory glance would have picked up would have been an enormous Acme-style bundle of sticks with an alarm clock wired to it.) _________________ Renaissance Woman: I do everything, just not very well.

General question: Anybody want to guess how many CC attendees there actually were?

At the TDome show I saw a vendor with a loaded 1911 in his backpack..He pulled it out, dropped a loaded mag, cleared it, then showed it off to someone at looking at his table. Security seemed quite lax at that show.
