Vendors having those items at the show for sale or
exhibition are exempt from this prohibition.
(h) No member of the public who is under the age of 18 years shall
be admitted to, or be permitted to remain at, a gun show or event

by members of the public shall be checked, cleared of any ammunition,
secured in a manner that prevents them from being operated, and an

identification tag or sticker shall state that all firearms transfers
between private parties at the show or event shall be conducted
