I went to a local gun show yesterday, and as usual they had the local FW police there at the entrance to zip-tie any weapons that people bring in, presumably to sell, etc. They also had a sign that said "No Loaded Weapons, this includes concealed carry permit holders...yadda, yadda..."
In Texas, however, there has to be a 30.06 visible and there wasn't, so I was going to just go in anyway, but my dad convinced me not to. So I asked the officer if he wanted to unload my gun and zip tie it, and he said "They're supposed to be unloaded already, but ok let me have it." How is my carry weapon supposed to already be unloaded when the sign was right there at the entrance, and there isn't even a 30.06? ***? He then procedes to point the loaded gun at the next person in line while he unloads it ! and zip-ties it and hands it all back to me. Next time, I am for sure just going in with it unless they post the proper signage.
What do you all think about this situation?
Last time I went with my brother who is FWPD, and he knew I was carrying and we went in anyway.
