[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4152307, member: 44288"] I asked a gun counterman at Cabela's if I could bring my gun in to check the fit of a holster. They said yes I could. It was unloaded and in the original case that came with is without any magazine or ammo. At the front of the store, they ziptied the barrel through the ejection port. At the counter, the fellow had my holster ready and attempted to holster the gun with the ziptie in place. I told him to cut the ziptie and try it again. [I] "Oh we can't do that, every gun that comes in gets ziptied and cannot be cut while in the store."[/I] Again, I offered a solution, "Then ziptie the trigger, cut the tie through the barrel, and I can then try the holster." [I] "Oh no, that is against policy. We don't tie triggers on guns, we have to tie them all through the barrel so they absolutely cannot load any ammo." [/I] I then asked, "You're telling me if a man with a 34" shotgun barrel walks in, you are going to ziptie his barrel through the action?" and not just the standard way of through the ejection port, then through the loading port?" I went further, "And if it is a double barreled shotgun you are going to use 30 some odd zipties through both barrels so no ammo could ever be loaded?" At this point I'm just playing him and the other countermen and a few customers are grinning. "What if I go back outside, take the barrel out of my gun, bring it back in unassembled, assemble it in front of you and try the holster without a ziptie?" Counterman,[I] "No we can't do that either, it has to be ziptied."[/I] ~sigh~ "You don't sell many holsters, do you." (Laughter) I thanked him anyway, took my gun back, put it back into the case, took off my jacket throwing it over my shoulder revealing a fully loaded cocked and locked 1911 on my right side. Everyone at the counter and the employees behind it busted a gut laughing as I walked out. [/QUOTE]
