What I am getting at is this. Public facilitys are sometimes leased to private events, this helps with maintenence costs etc. whether a concert at the Henderson pavillion or a gunshow at Cashman, the promoter signs a contract. Once they pay, and adhere to the rules of the contract the facility is under the promoters direct control. this limits the liability of the political subdivision in question.
Now to the ugly part. In the rules that the promoter signs there most likely will be a clause that says there will be no loaded firearms on the premises, or something to that effect, unless he is willing to come up with a billion dollar umbrella. that I believe is what we are fighting, and I do not think we can win that on its face.
Since we are dealing directly with a private party, we can encourage them to either rent out one of the vacent Vons stores in town, or take our business elswhere. But I do not think our Fourth is being violated. We voluntarily go down there, same as a rock concert, or Harley run, you will be asked to open your jacket and wanded for weapons, do I like it? no.
