Hello
I am visiting AZ for a couple weeks, I am from Missouri. I hold a CCW permit from Missouri. My wife and I are here for the Gem and Mineral shows each year. I was in the Holliday Inn show yesterday and had some sheriff dept officers converge on me and tell me that open carry was not allowed in the Gem Show, I thought they meant just in that "ball room" where I was waiting for a dealer to return to his booth, I offered to stand outside in the hall way of the Holliday Inn and was told that I had to leave the building. I offered to untuck my shirt and cover my weapon , that still was not good enough , I had to leave the building. I never saw any posting banning guns, and had never heard of a no gun policy at any of the Gem Shows. I have carried open at the Jogs show, the gem mall , Kino[TEP] show and had never had any security show any interest.
I am just posting as an observation. I was treated with respect and just had to leave the building. I will return today with my weapon concealed.
