Their present policy of No Guns except for law enforcement is ludicrous.

They said is was because people want to trial fit guns in holsters? How can one trial fit if guns are NOT allowed? Is a cased gun automatically safe?

Second "only law enforcement?" And who is the more dangerous - the non-uniformed citizen or LE? Don't bother to answer that one. :banghead:

Their policy is that no loaded guns are allowed except for LEO. She told me I could go out to my car and unload it and bring it back.

Did anyone check it for unloaded/safe or do they just accept the word of another?

If they did check it, do they use an approved unloading station for safe check?

When I was onsite, there was one woman working. I am not sure what "checking" she would do if you wanted to bring an unloaded gun in to try holsters. If I was to bring one I would have the mag out and slide locked back and let them examine it.

Since I told her mine "was" loaded she didn't have to examine anything just jumped to the knee-jerk policy statement that I couldn't be there since I wasn't LEO!
