They stay in business writing risks when nothing happens. No insurance company is going to worry about missing out on $5,000 because the show fell into obscurity because no one patronized it. The people who host the special event could probably find someone to write the risk and not have any crap about no CCW, but not without substantial increase in premium cost, which will just be passed to the patrons anyway.

I guess the issue is which would people prefer?

Paying $25 cover to browse mixed nuts and chinese holsters, in an environment with only a few more negligent discharges (we have to be honest) while carrying.

Or

Paying $6 cover to browse mixed nuts and Chinese holsters, with a few less NDs and your gun in the car.

Personally, the gun show isn't nearly awesome enough for me to care (others may feel differently), and since it is a private business decision, and not a local, state, or federal government issue, then I don't feel like my rights are all that threatened.

That's just my take on it though.
