I was planning on attending The Minnesota Weapons Collectors Association's gun show tomorrow at the State Fair complex in St. Paul MN. Taking into consideration that this show is not held in the best of neighborhoods I was planning on carrying my G19 open to the show.
Just for my own curiosity I had to check the website to see if guns were banned from the show.
I found this letter listed as "An open letter to visitors to the MWCA website"
After reading the letter and seeing that they comply with state law I let out a sigh of relief after realizing I would not have to store my firearm in my truck in a less than desirable neighborhood.
Well, that relief, it did not last very long. I then found this statement on the front page of the website " Important! Article VII Show Rules of Conduct, Section 5: Any item brought to a meeting (show) which, in the opinion of a majority of the Board Members present, is detrimental to the safety or best interest of this corporation will be barred. No loaded firearms except for authorized security personnel!"
All I can say is WHISKEY FOXTROT TANGO
They state that they comply with state and federal law on one page, and then reverse that or twist it to what suits them on the next.
This has to be the first website I have ever come across with NO contact email address and I have to assume this is why.
Sad day when you cant even go to a collectors gun show, WITH a permit to carry, in a HORRIBLE neighborhood, and not have to worry about leaving your firearm in the car where it could be potentially stolen.
I can not stop shaking my head over this nonsense.
