[quote=rhineoshott;148495]I think they're banning "loaded firearms" more than CCW.

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.
