AC26 and I attend a lot of the gun shows in the Dallas area, and we are used to the routine of the Police Officers checking and putting zip ties on our pistols as we enter the show. Rightly so. The show we attended yesterday was the same routine, however...  ----------------------------------- USAF/ANG Retired | ||

Haha. What show was this? Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I'd rather not say. I in no way want to disrespect the Police. I thank the Lord for them. But what's even more funny is that AC26 and I didn't even notice until we left the show and were about to cut the ties off. ----------------------------------- USAF/ANG Retired | |||

Well technically they did secure them....they secured the slide from falling off and on the 2nd......nope I got nuthin From watching these guys in the past they normally seem so bored you were lucky they didn't zip tie themselves | |||

| Just for the hell of it  |
Do you keep the loaded mag from the gun in your pocket? Assuming these are carry guns and you have to unload entering the show. Maybe the officer was just helping you out. Wink wink. Here we zip tied them as required but if something really happens you can load up and rock and roll. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

M&P = new low grip technique, high grip is so 2019. Glock = increases the slide to rails pressure so that increased accuracy may or may not happen. ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.

I’m hoping they did that on purpose since they don’t agree with disarming folks entering the show. I really doubt they know that little about firearms. | |||

We're the only ones here professional enough to zip tie these guns. Q | |||

No that's not right. The Shield has a grip safety that only works when it's *not* depressed. Year V | |||

Definitely a silent “protest” at the absurdity of the policy on the officers part. A Veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life." | |||

Obviously. I mean, what's stopping someone from simply cutting the wire tie off after entering? ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with police officers not being gun people, but they do need to understand how a gun works and how to secure it. | |||
