They ARE there as LE, not private security. The show's hire off duty officers through the departments. They pay the department, the department pays the officer as an overtime gig.rx9790 wrote:I aint running with that one, because i will bet a months pay if something goes down they will throw the book at me for disobeying an officer in uniform. They are decked out in their HPD clothes with a badge so to me they are LEO. If they are under security guise then there uniform should reflect that.

well, it was posted, and I didn't feel like being the test case...I unloaded in the car and carried it in the case, checked it with the LEO at the table and had multiple people offer to buy it. Of course I had to turn them down because it's my only carry weapon at the moment. One guy kept badgering me to sell it, so I told him I'd sell it for $600 to get him to leave me alone.
before anyone goes through the trouble to ask, my carry weapon at the moment is a Glock 19 that I've put about 2000 round through since the first of the year. The only modification I've made is adding Trijicon night sights. Of course, you could get a new Glock 19 with Meprolights at the show for $509.
Now for the embarassing part of the day...
When I got back to the car and reloaded, I forgot to put the mag back in the well after loading my "Barney Fife" in it. Carried into Cabela's, bought a locking case for the car, carried into Sportsman's Warehouse looking for ammo and only noticed that I didn't have the mag in the gun when I got home. Man am I glad I didn't need it!

well, that would kinda make it pointless...as much as I may not like it, I guess I will have to lock it up in my car, or carry it in the case inside as if I would trade it in...to keep it from being stolen out of my car(worst case scenario)AEA wrote:You can carry, but no ammo and your pistol will be checked and tie-wrapped.
maybe checking it would be the better option for the security of the weapon

Gun show carry?
There is a strong possibility that I could stop by the gun show tomorrow in Ft Worth. Is it legal for me to carry at a gun show if it is not 30.06 posted? Could it be a legally binding 30.06 since it is at the Will Rogers Center? Any questions I am missing?
TIA
