The two around here I attend are the FT Worth show and the Dallas show...they are both properly posted. It get's my goat too, but if I want to look at lots of guns and ammo at one place, I guess I have to disarm. At least they don't make you take it back to the car. They just put one of those plastic straps on it and take all your ammo...LOL. I nno longer take my ammo in with me.shootthesheet wrote:If it isn't a proper posting then they can only harass a CHL holder while he/she thinks of the punishment he/she is going to insist be done to any LEO, agency or department.

All kidding aside, the risk of getting caught in a gun show seems higher than most other places that don't have 50 law enforcement officers lurking around all over the place.flb_78 wrote:They post half of a 30.06 sign at the local shows here.
I carry right past it because the sign in not proper and it's at the Amarillo Civic Center.
I also never expose my carry piece while at the show. I have carried in other guns and checked them because I was looking for holsters or selling/trading.
I personally would never even consider going to a posted gun show anyway. I don't care what their excuse is. I can understand that from anti-gun types but not from someone who makes their living selling guns. Besides, the prices at those shows are set so that only a person with no "impulse buying" control would want to buy anything. Yet another personal reason I don't go.
Cool...the Leo's at the Dallas gun show had a big water bottle full of rounds. they make anyone with live rounds put them in the bottle...no exceptions. They would not allow loose rounds or rounds in a magazine. I asked them what the point of this was since I could walk right up to the first table and buy more rounds. They had no answer...just a dumb look.Purplehood wrote:The LEO's at the gunshow watch me put the magazines in my pocket with no comment.
