Loaded Firearm Not Allowed in Gun Show
I attended a gun show organized by Sports Connection (based in Park City, MT) this past weekend, Oct 23-24, at the Red Lion Hotel in Kennewick, WA. The man at the door, who apparently organizes and runs the show would not let me enter because I was OCing. When asked why, he gave me a line about CCers who in the past have pulled their gun to show another guy and then it goes "bang."
His show, his rules. I'll respect that. I walked around with an unloaded, zip-tied holstered gun while I was there. I would've had a longer discussion with the guy about it, but there was a line forming behind me and he wasn't receptive to hearing the spiel anyway.
HOWEVER, There were several vendors at the show CCing and probably several customers as well. He made no attempt to enforce his rule with them. There was no sign posted and he wasn't asking everybody if they were CCing. He just stopped the one guy who was OCing.
The show was very small and probably not worth the $6 entry fee anyway.
