As far as opening a show, no thanks. If I wanted to see a bunch of people not knowing how to handle a firearm, I will go watch some youtube videos.
You have just confirmed the reason for tied and unloaded carry at a gun show.
As said by many, and every time this comes up. If you don't like it, don't go. I respect your decision, but not your apparent attitude toward gun shows.
I didn't confirm anything!
You would think that a show would have some different rules. Maybe something like Cabelas or The Sportsmans Warehouse. If you plan on taking your tool out of your holster, then yes it should be unloaded and tied off. If you never remove it from the holster, you should be allowed to OC loaded.
So many people on here that talk about places that do not allow OC, but when it comes to something like a gunshow, oh well that is different.
That is a little hypocritical, I think. If I can NOT OC or CC loaded into any place, I will not go. Unless I have to visit any place that is not allowed by federal or state law.
I respect gun shows, I just don't like some of the rules that go with it.
