The armed or disarmed issue may have been beaten to death on gun boardsand that is ok, but I'm thinking that that being in a buildingwith several hundred other armed enthusiasts may just be the safest place on the planet, if I'm wrong oh well.It just seems that policies that disarm show goers are counter to the right to carry that we all are trying to practice. please forgive the last post as I am not very seasond with computers and make mistakes fairly easily. See what i mean the last post that I thought I sent in error wasn't sent. I should find a 4th grader to do the posting for me!
Can you imagine what would happen if one shot got fired? Even on accident? I'd be gettin my butt out the nearest exit... that doesn't sound too safe to me...
May be the safest place on the planet from a BG trying to rob someone but several hundred "total idiots" playing with loaded guns is not a safe place. There is a reason that "loaded" guns are not allowed at gun shows and it has nothing to do with 2A or anti-gun rights or anything similar. Just think if you had a car show and said that anyone could test drive any car they wanted to whether they knew how to drive or not. I am all for being allowed to keep and bear arms but some people don't have enough sense to do so safely. Put 500 of them in a room with loaded guns and you have problems. And don't hand me that bull that because you have a permit you know what you are doing and will be safe.
Your car show analogy is a bit off. We are not asking to shoot out guns at the show. It would be like a car show if they didn't allow you to drive to the car show, but had to park a mile away and walk to the show.
No guns at shows is about Insurance and liability and that's it. I have talked with the promoters of the Michigan gun and knife shows and after several different BS reasons for the policy he finally admitted it was for his attorney and his liability insurance, nothing more.
