Re: Why do we patronize gun shows?

I think having the shows posted 30.06 isn't a bad idea. They also post shows in Colorado where I used to live. They are justifiably concerned that people will ND a weapon, and I was at a show where that happened. Some may remove the loaded gun they carry to test a holster, or grip, etc. Unfortunately many CHL holders are inexperienced or incompetent gun handlers, just go watch a the average CHL class on the range, it can be downright frightening at times. I don't like being disarmed anywhere I go, but because of what is going on at a show I think the potential for a ND is very high, thus the 30.06 posting makes sense.

I have met the promoter of the Dallas Market Hall show, and in the past the promoter of the Crossroads show in Denver. They aren't anti gun in any way shape or form, but if people get shot at their shows you can be sure that they won't be able to find venues to do shows, and they will have tremendous liability exposure. It is also very bad press, the ND I witnessed in Denver made the news and portrayed gun owners and gun shows in a very negative light.
