That doesn't happen at the High Caliber Gun and Knife Show in Fort Worth. . . they 30.06 the crap out of Will Rogers when it's going on and have two police officers clearing all guns before they enter. Ironically, the last time I was there it was a dealer who fired a round.BigBlueDodge wrote:Go to any gun show, and it is VERY easy to get the CHL crowd to show themselves.
My DL picture is about ten years old and looks nothing like me. I'm probably 100 lbs. heavier now, have a beard, wear glasses, and don't buzz my head. . . so I've had a few people inspect the DL and ask for another form of ID. I usually chuckle, say something about what 10 years can do to you, and show the CHL. Only had a couple of people comment on it - usually something funny like, "I will now carefully place your merchandise into the sack and avoid making you upset for any reason." A couple have asked me how to go about getting theirs.
Of course, I'll never tell them if I'm carrying or not, but I don't think it's a negative if more people become comfortable with the thought of responsible, regular-looking citizens walking around with CHLs. . . it makes us seem like less of a fringe group of people and more like a mainstream what's-the-big-deal crowd.
