It is quite possible that your deputy was just doing his job enforcing the convention center's contract.
I think it's much more probable he was throwing around his authority.

I would have been asking every single ammo vender if they had any of the "black cop killer ammo"
""All transactions are to be held inside the building only!" "
They rented the building and the parking lot, so their rules. No big deal. If the city made the rule, well, it's their property to manage as they see fit. I don't see what the problem is.
I'm not trying to be a smart a#$...but the main reason is that the show promoter and dealers are not there to provide you with a convenient opportunity and location to buy/sell your guns to/from other people. It is a business venture. I assume there was a cover charge? Would you pay that and buy a corn dog if you never had to go in the door? Secondly, from a legal perspective, they are trying to discourage 'door sharks' (back-door dealers) from running a business on their dime.

Are you implying something about the Sheriff's ethnic origin?

jrfoxx said:The main thing I have an issue with here, and I have seen it more than a few times, and not just at gun shows, is cops, in thier officail police uniform, being hired by private individuals to work as security. I have no problem if a cop or anyone else wants to have a second/part time job doing security, but I dont think they should be allowed to wear thier police uniform when doing it. When in uniform, but being paid and under the orders/control of the private party that hired them, one could easily argue that they are no longer representing and beholden to the citizens that that uniform represents as an official, taxpayer funded, LEO position, working for the people, but are now acting for a private person, and enforcing thier rules and wishes, not just the law.

he is referring to black talon i.e. the bullet is black, not the target
