well i went to the kittery trading post this evening to see Wayne LaPeirre and get him to sign my copy of his new book. I had read in couple places that open carrying into KTP was acceptable, i even carried in there earlier this morning when i was picking up a few things. At any rate after standing in line for about 30 -40 minutes i was approached by a man claiming to be head of security and he asked me to remove my 1911 from its serpa holster and just hold it. I asked why and he said that it was part of a ATF law concerning KTP. I almost put up a fight seeing as my handgun sercured in its holster was less of a threat than the 30 or so people around us handling all sorts of firearms at that exact moment. In the end i obliged the man and removed my magazine which i placed in my pocket then i unholstered my 1911 and locked the slide back and held it in my hand. I ve never seen a sign at KTP saying no firearms aloud. Ive walked in there many times with a gun for trade-ins and what not. Any way thought i would post it seeing as it was kinda funny that i was not aloud to carry at an NRA event. However i do understand why so its not like im angry about it either. It was nice to see all the people that turned out for the book signing tho!
