My mom, brother and I went last year. My brother is an LEO, and my mom and I both have CHL's, all 3 of us were carrying. There was no 30.06 sign last year, but the no loaded weapons sign was up at the table where the officers were sitting. I didn't mention it since it wasn't a binding sign, bt my mom did before I could tell her not too, and she said to me, "Oh, we better unload our guns and lock them up!" in front of the officers. So the officers were very friendly, I have to say, but they told us that it did apply to CHL's also. I asked if I needed to go to the car and leave it, or if I could just go to the bathroom stall and disarm in private there. The officer told me to just disarm right there and he'd zip tie it! I asked if that was ok, and he said yes, but only because we were in the presence of an officer and at the request of an officer. I wasn't really comfortable with it, but I did. My mom was carrying in her purse at the time, and she disarmed as well. The officers had us unload both guns and the magazines and even gave us a little ziplock baggie so the ammo wasn't loose in our pockets. It was a rather strange event. They asked my brother since he was with us if he was carrying. He said yes I'm carrying, I'm officer blank with blank PD, and showed them his ID card. And they said, "OK, go enjoy the show."
