Overall I would agree with you and I do perfer the Bullet trap over the DFW gun club. It's just this one time - not sure his name but he went off on me.. like I said, perhaps a bad day?

I think it's only the last year or so that 'hot' carry firearms were allowed at PSC.

I always clear and reload in my truck.

I have a small car, and out of habit I always put my workbag and rangebox in the trunk out of site - it never occured to me to put my range box in the seat next to me.

Please get a name of the person you talked to so I can reference your discussion if I am lectured again.

I think the BIG lesson for me (thank you pbandjelly for pointing this out) is that I should have re-armed out of view.

Standing in the lane with your side views blocked, you forget there is glass and cameras behind you.

Where did you do this? On the shooting line, facing downrange or behind the line?[/quote]

On the shooting line facing down range. I cleared the weapon first a few times.

After shooting, I loaded a clip, holstered my weapon and put my jacket on (weapon could not be seen) but was told at the front desk "Sir, next time you must unload and secure your weapon all the way out the store". Assume I was spotted on the range cameras.

I did not mention I had a CHL, but looking back I don't think this would have changed the situation. I believe the gun clerk was simply not a happy camper (having a bad day).

Think about this scenario, undesirable person watches what you shoot, observes you put your weapon in your gun case - waits for you outside the store. Worst case, I would rather Mr./Mrs. Evil know that I am armed and I am not an easy target.. I should also point out the trap is not in the best area of Plano and the parking lot lighting is limited.

I'm going to play by the rules at the trap as I have a paid membership. Question: do they have to be like this? Assume Insurance issue?? Perhaps a simple waiver might solve this?. Also should I talk to the manager and plead my case or just let it go and chalk it up as someone in charge having a bad day?
