Cashman is owned and operated by the LVCVA, a political sub-division of the State of Nevada (see their web-site http://www.lvcva.com/index.jsp). The building is posted and cites NRS 202.3673.From NRS 202...
Cashman Center is not part of the Nevada System of Higher Education.(b) “Public building” means any building or office space occupied by: (1) Any component of the Nevada System of Higher Education and used for any purpose related to the System; or (2) The Federal Government, the State of Nevada or any county, city, school district or other political subdivision of the State of Nevada and used for any public purpose. If only part of the building is occupied by an entity described in this subsection, the term means only that portion of the building which is so occupied.
Cashman Center's convention hall is not "occupied" by the Federal Government, State of Nevada, or any county, city, school district or other political subdivision of the State of Nevada. Hence, the convention hall - during a gun show - clearly does not meet the legal definition of "public building."
They cannot legally prevent concealed carry.
Even if this was a convention room attached to city hall, it would not qualify as "only that portion of the building which is so occupied" during a gun show, wedding reception, trade show, etc.
Ken, how would you argue that a convention hall, being used to host a gun show, is being occupied by the government or school system?
I think there's a solid argument to be made that a convention hall rented out for a show is not "occupied" by a government entity according to the law.
Never the less... to my knowledge Ken is factually correct in everything he's said. I would not encourage anyone else to conceal carry at the show - whether I personally think it defensible or not.
Open carry is still lawfully allowed, and the only restriction imposed by the show is that the gun be unloaded and zip tied for the time you're inside the convention hall. I suggest those going OC.
I was under the impression you can carry in a public building as long as it's not posted *at every entrance* no guns allowed or there are no metal detectors at the entrances.
If there is an unmarked (not posted "no guns allowed") door, you can carry inside.
I thought that is how I understood it from my CCW training back in April.
