Last gun show I was at, they prohibited entry of CCW permit holders unless their guns were unloaded. Seemed like a oxymoron.
While I might not like it, I understand it.
Local promoter got a new venue here in town. We setup on Friday night and did the show Saturday. Come in Sunday and everyone was being told to pack up and leave due to an on going Police investigation. Seems someone was reloading or holstering their CCW at the end of the show and shot and killed their Father in law. The venue decided that they would rather not have the gun shows there anymore. It took the Promoter about four months to find a new venue. Setup on Friday night at that one, did the show Saturday with no issues. Sunday morning I am sitting at my table and the Tee Shirt vendor across from me pulls his CCW out goes to unload it and blast a hole in the floor. Police show up to take a report for insurance reasons. Venue owners said no more gun shows. We have not had a local show seance.
To many pepeol with unknown levels of training. Not worth the financial risk involved. Easier to just say no CCW in the show. I have been to several shows where some yahoo managed to discharge a weapon during the show. Its just been luck that no one was hit.
