Yes, joke. Remember, my name is "drJOKER". Glad you "got it." I do apologize for those of you who didn't "get it."Crossfire wrote:I hope this is supposed to be a joke, because that is the absolute worst approach ever.drjoker wrote:Most of the time, I just get waved through to the officer inside to check my CHL. However, about 20% of the time, I get a NAZI who will harass me on purpose by searching my bags and wanding me to search for a knife (really? why would I carry a knife when I've got a gun!), then they'd ask me to show them the gun (I told him that it is illegal to show the gun because it is a CONCEALED weapons law, so I'd yell politely for the officer to come back), and finally, the NAZIs love to lecture you about gun safety and ask you, "why do you need to bring a gun to the fair?" To which, I reply, "because it is my constitutional right and if you want less freedom, then please go to Cuba!"
If you get waved through to the officer inside, great! If they call an officer to you, instead, then you've got a NAZI.
One time, a NAZI was pawing through my possessions in my bag (illegal search without a warrant!), so I jacked with her and told her to be careful because I have a loaded gun inside the bag (I didn't, it was holstered IWB). Her eyes go wide as golf balls! Lol!
My advice is to just hide it in your boots, a small kel tec p3at or ruger lcp. Then, waltz on through without identifying yourself as a CHL. Or you can hide it inside your baseball cap, or... ankle holster or secret compartment in purse, etc. If you're really old, just tell 'em it's your implanted medical device.
Remember, I did say that I've been to the State Fair many times, but always identified myself as a CHL. Just remember, that 80% of the time, it's all good, but 20% of the time, you'll get a NAZI. But, honestly, I might've brought it upon myself because of my NRA baseball cap.
My REAL non-joke advice is to just identify yourself as a CHL and if you get a NAZI, REFUSE to play their games and call for the police officer to come back. Do NOT show them your gun and certainly do NOT do anything else that is illegal if they request it.
