I'd have sworn that the signs at GM, Cabela's, etc are on the lines of "Any guns brought in for service or trade must be unloaded and cased."

IE, no bans on concealed carry, but if you want to be able to show the gun, it needs to be unloaded and visually safe.

That makes perfect sense to me.

I have seen people pull out their loaded guns to try holsters, for instance. Generally bad form in two ways, IMO.

They should ask the sales guy before drawing a loaded weapon, period. And, they should probably ask before testing holsters (and possibly marking the holsters or packaging.)

Rude, clueless and armed is no way to go through life.
