A handgun carried on a concealed carry permit for selfdefense is not going to be carried in the hand, and handed to relative strangers for inspection, in a crowded room.
Permitted handgun carriers are different from some of the folks who show up at gunshows. I have seen two instances of folks going to a gun show and to a gun shop to dispose of inherited firearms that they had no interest in: the cop at the door of the gun show in charge of cable tying guns, jacked a live round out of the firing chamber and the Beretta had a full magazine. At the gun shop the non-shooting heir of the gun had no idea that the Winchester pump had a round in the chamber and eleven in the tube.
Carrying a loaded gun for self defense while conducting daily business is not the same as carrying a gun for sale or trade around at a gun show.
