What safety? None of mine have safeties. I think there is a halfcock though.

Half-cock or a hammer block is the standard for safety on derringers. Not my personal choice for a secure method.

My guess was that the manager was talking about the TABC sign when he mentioned that no guns were allowed...

Fox News brought that up this morning, and pointed out that there was no no-gun signage out front. No mention of TABC signs.

Raffa's has a liquor license, so I am sure they have a TABC sign up. I would also guess that was what the manager was talking about. Many not in the know think those prohibit guns from legally being carried. The problem is these types of events will cause more folks to 'be in the know' and potentially cause them to research posting a 30.06.
