i was at the gun show in manassas va today. everyone had to have their guns zip tied before going in. i was open carrying my 9, walked up to the counter, and had the guy run a zip tie through it. i closed the slide as far as it would go, reholstered it (open carrying), and went shopping for ammunition.
when i went to leave the show, i went up to the same guy who'd zip tied my gun and asked if he would clip the zip tie for me because i'm leaving. he said sure, then saw me draw it from my holster. he clipped the zip tie, then asked if i had a concealed weapons permit. i said no, open carry. he paused for a second, then turned around to the cop that was standing behind him (prince william county police officer). the cop gave a nod and said "yeah that's open carry" and i walked off.
you'd think someone working an event like that would know. guess not.
i'm just posting this to show that there is still a lot of uninformed people out there, even at gun shows.
