That makes more sense than what I was thinking, half the store would be soiling their britches.

We've always called them clearing barrels or bullet traps:
I've never seen it in person, but many have put rounds into them. Some get the sequence backward; they eject the one in the chamber, remove the mag and then press the trigger. Thank God for clearing barrels.

With gun shows its a insurance related. Gun shows are set up and held in someone's facility. For that to be allowed they require all guns checked.
Depending on where you are, after you clear your gun you pull the trigger. Modt places Ive been to, thats the procedure. Of course sometimes the gun isnt cleared.
Like I said, nobody just points the gun at it and pulls the trigger.
I've never been to a place that encouraged anyone to pull the trigger after clearing. Show clear and hold open is the rule for me, and that's usually when the zip tie comes in . . .

Its to ensure its empty. If it aint you keep going till you empty the whole magazine!
I remember I shot one dead with a blank. Instructions may have said one thing but the orders passed on were to shoot to ensure it was clear. They didnt clarify to drop the mag then clear chamber so much. I was not the only one.
Yeah, smart guy, I hope they thank me for not spending a dime on their tourism, or in their economy, whatsoever.
What? You try to defeat gun control, by going to states like
Illinois and New Jersey, and spending money into their
system? Oh, please elaborate...
As testimony to goobers, the range I previously used has some bullet damage on a couple walls. One day I was going in and two young goobers in the pickup truck ahead of me was apparently playing with a pistol and had a door open. A second later I learned they were playing with the pistol when the darn thing discharged out the open door and I heard them yelling at each other. Words to the effect of what are you doing you stupid ... As a result, I now only practice on my own range at the farm. If you talk to some some shop employees a bit, you will learn that the bounds of stupidity of some of the people that go there has no basement.
Most gun shops here require no loaded guns enter the store, except CWP holders who must keep their guns concealed in the store. Unloaded guns must be carried into the store in a case and must be presented to a shop employee to be opened.
May I ask why Delaware is on your boycott list? They allow CC, and they have reciprocity with a number of states. I know that my Utah permit is honored there!
OP
To after all this I must confess.. I stopped there yesterday.. To confirm that I was not crazy.. And there are 2 signs . 1 sign says that Guns must be presented and unloaded at counter when entering.. Another sign excludes CC as long as it stays concealed. Lots of good dialogue but the post was initially inaccurate.. In my defense I never saw the 2nd sign. They are not together in the vestibule area.

I am surprised to hear that a Bass Pro in NJ has a clearing station! Especially since concealed carry is Verboten in NJ unless you are LEO or politically connected! I was at the Atlantic City shop last Sunday and didn't see one.
After visiting their hunting department and seeing the prices of their reloading components, I was in sticker shock! Cabela's Delaware gets my reloading supply business, or Powder Valley! Bass Pro makes mail order powder purchases with the hazmat fee look cheap!
