Correct--I do most of my range work at Bass Pro in Grapevine. I usually have a range bag with ammo. Since it usually means someone is going to the range, they'll ask about needing to put trigger-locks on the guns. I've told them it's not necessary, and it's only been an issue once. I simply (although reluctantly) told the guy at the front I had my CHL, and he told me to head on back.The Annoyed Man wrote:Ditto. I just unholster once I get to my lane. For "modesty's" sake, I try to turn my gun side away from the window, and draw when I think that the attention of those near the cashier is elsewhere.dawgfishboy wrote:Not the one in Grapevine. They do NOT want you to declare and lock your CCW at the front counter. They want you to keep it concealed until you're on the firing line and ready to shoot.

When you get to the counter at the range, I've only been asked if I have locks to remove. A simple "No" response is all that's required.
