OK, sorry for the delay. I asked for clarification while at the BT today. They are fine with CHL's carrying in the store and actually encourage it. The reply was something like... we spend a great deal of time teaching CHL classes, the more the merrier.

They are also fine with shooting your carry weapon as long as it stays concelaed until you are on the line and... you unholster, set the weapon down briefly and then pick it up and shoot. Drawing from the holster and firing is not acceptable no matter how slow it is done. They want to see you set the pistol down first before firing. The logic is that drawing and firing at any speed may cause others to think that this is acceptable and create a possibly dangerous situation.

FWIW they kinda laughed at the notion that anyone would see the sign and think that CHL holders were not welcome. They said the wost thing is when someone stops at the door, reads the sign, unholsters their weapons and begins to unload it at the door. The sign is mostly to keep folks from walking in with a loaded pistol thier hand.

I've gone in before with only my carry piece concealed and when they asked what I was shooting, I told them ....."A .45". They looked around and I told them, "Don't worry, I've got it here........" They simply said, "OK" and gave me a lane and targets. I always load back up on the line and I've had people see me do it before. Never been an issue to date.

If you want to call, talk to Dave or Dan (the Rev.). Great guys..........I did have one incident there where Dan had gotten onto me for opening up a pistol case (pistol inside) on the showroom to show someone. He was quick, professional and just let me know the policies. Although some of their sales practices and other things I've found not to my liking, they've always treated me fairly.

I agree. Dan, DJ, Justin, Jerome, Deborah, everyone there is great to do business with. I can't say enough about thier customer service in general.

OK,

I was at The Bullet Trap, but I did not ask because I didn't make it there until about 45 minutes prior to closing due to some unforseen issues that are detailed here:

I will get an answer from them tomorrow.

I am going to be at the Bullet Trap today. I will ask for some clarification on the policy and post later.
