No Conc Carry at Gun Show??

I think they're banning "loaded firearms" more than CCW.

Who's dumb enough to make a "disturbance" at a gun show.

Just to be clear here is an excerpt from the FAQ on the Tanner Gun Show:
2) I have a concealed carry permit. Am I allowed to bring my gun in?
You may bring your gun in but it must be unloaded and checked by security at the admissions desk and the firing mechanism tied. Absolutely NO loaded guns are allowed in the show. This includes concealed carry permit holders


With all stated in this thread and the further research I've done today, I can sorta see where they're coming from. It's a unique setting where there is a mass of people, it's generally accepted to draw a weapon for fitting, parts, etc... Kind of the "perfect storm" for a ND. I still think it does not benefit all of us trying to promote the responsible exercise of 2nd Ammendment, but with the gun show it may be a necessary evil.

Personally, I'll probably stay away from the gun show and stick to my principals on this. It's not like k-12 schools where I don't really have a choice since I have kids that attend them, but that's a whole other rant.

My personal feeling is that the "no loaded" guns policy is very far down on a list of reasons why NOT to go to the gun show.

Ok Stu, there's where we'll have to disagree. IMO they're essentially relieving you of your 2nd ammendment rights, you have a reasonable choice to go or not, so what would be a good reason NOT to go? Just saying, it's a slippery slope.

I am saying that I don't go to a lot of gun shows.

They aren't re leaving you of your second amendment right, because it is not a public event. It is a private venue that you have to pay just to enter. They can do whatever they want. If you don't like it, then you can choose not to go (which is what you are saying). I'm just pointing out that not going isn't going to change anything because it is a third party (insurance company) that is making the decision, and their share of any profits isn't large enough for them to change their mind. They could take it or leave it.

I was saying that I don't really go to gun shows, because I've found much better deals on boards like this one, and I don't have to deal with vendors that pretend to be super secret commandos, or vendors that are normal people, but have to deal with so many fudds in one day that they automatically assume that I'm a fudd and treat me as such (maybe I am though). So I guess I'm already on your side, because I don't generally go anyway.

I may be way off on this but anyone here think of this concept....

Concealed is concealed?

Just saying

I wouldn't publicly agree with you.
