I seriously doubt that any legitimate gun club requested this. It is written in true anti fashion, and is clearly a stealth measure to kill gun shows, because:
- It applies to almost every gun show venue. The venues have many other clients and most have alcohol licenses.
- As Alice pointed out, who would buy a gun at a gun show where you couldn't take possession of the gun when you could visit a dealer's shop and make the purchase in one trip?
- It would end ammunition sales at gun shows and further undermine the business case for vendors to make the investment to attend.
This one needs to go down in flames.
It's hit the national news too:

Texas could start allowing alcohol sales at gun shows provided they don't allow live ammunition or let buyers take possession of their weapons at the events.
The proposal also would require that firearms being shown for sale be disabled and not readily convertible for use.
