I guess you are referring to folks who disarm for the improperly posted sign.

I should say that if you plan on getting a new holster or magazine or something that you will need to fit to your gun, it should be brought in unloaded and secured. I'll keep mine concealed within the law. I would not draw a loaded firearm in that situation unless I intended to use it.

I agree completely. I had one instance where I needed to check a holster for my legally carried, concealed handgun. I walked back to my truck, unloaded it, and reentered after having it tied.

Over the years, I've been at several shows where ND's occurred. In all of those instances, it was a dealer responsible.

B. Get themselves arrested for intentional failure to conceal.

So, since the signs apply only to CHL's, are we to infer that we are all idiots?

Since most shows are held in government owned facilities, the signs actually have no standing anyway and should be unenforceable.

My own opinion is that the promoter would not be able to insure the show if he didn't make every effort to eliminate loaded firearms. No insurance, no show.
