Let’s see, it seems that your premise is that anyone that has a CCW has enough common sense to not have a ND or AD at a gun show any more than they would in a mall, bank, etc. Do you really believe that? If you do, you’ve got a lot more trust in our fellow gunowners than I do.
Besides, they’re very unlikely to be pulling out a gun to show it to someone in the mall, etc. At a gun show where guns are being handled, displayed, played with and so on, it’s much more likely that a loaded gun is going to have that AD/ND at some point. So, in answer to your questions:
Are you saying that people cannot be trusted with loaded firearms? Are you admitting that at least some WAC members are far too inept to carry loaded firearms?
,my response is YES, SOME people can't be trusted! The problem is sorting out those that can from those that can't.
If you let everybody have a loaded gun, there is the chance of an AD/ND. If you let no one have one, there is no chance. (Other than those that decide they are better than the rules of the club or are too stupid to follow them.)
I trust myself, I may trust some of my acquaintances, but trust everybody just because they have a piece of paper that basically says they don’t have a criminal record (yet) and they weren’t certifiable when they applied for the permit, NO WAY. (And, by the way, I don’t expect others to trust me either.)
Also, I’m still interested in your solution of having a “clearing” area if one decides they want to handle their carry gun for any reason. I asked if your plan was to “clear” the gun and then have it tied, or just clear it and leave it untied.
