Hey JD. Our Gun Shows are Gun-free Zones

I was looking at upcoming activities at the local show center and noticed a gun show for this weekend. Due to one of our recent threads, I clicked on the link and discovered that the place is a gun-free zone during the gun show. So much for the argument that people don't go to gun shows to kill others because of all the people there with guns.

Per the ad:

You may bring your gun to the show – it must be unloaded, checked by the Police Officers at the entrance, and tied with a plastic tie. NO EXCEPTIONS – including concealed carry permit holders, the show is posted as such in accordance with Texas laws.

You can't make this shit up!

Yea, so... http://usgovinfo.about.com/blgunshow.htm#gun show

It was a accident... http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative...o-2983792.html

Venders also keep a close watch at their booths to make sure patrons who purchase Firearms at the show aren't intending to load a firearm or are handling them in an unsafe manner. I've been to a few Gun Shows and I've never seen anyone behave in a manner which would be cause for alarm.

You missed the irony of the OP.

It is like our Texas Legislatures arguing that we should be able to carry on school campus but then deny access to carrying in their chambers.

I have no idea if the Cedar Park Center is a gun-free zone during all events. Nothing stated on their website.

But you are missing the point. JB and other gun rights advocates keep telling us that the reason that gun shows are not targeted by the mass murderers is because they wouldn't want to go into a place where so many people are armed. In this case, there would be less resistance than a convenience store or McDonalds.

Very ironic in my opinion.

But ya have to realize the true meaning of a Gun Free Zone it pertains to guns loaded and in battery in possession by a person going into a public place. Guns at a gun show are unloaded not being in possession by anyone and tethered down on a display table so maybe that's the loophole.

Second, never said the killing of the father-in-law was anything but a tragic accident. Simply another ironic event.

I think they have a different idea of what a gun free zone is. For most people it means no guns allowed, there are guns at a gun show (if you went to one you would know that) and there is ample amounts of ammunition (if you went to a gun show you would know that too). Hardly what I would call a gun free zone. Now a no loaded weapons zone that I can understand, accidents and all.

I'm sorry but that is not irony but just a touch of ignorance on the subject manner. I have also been to science fiction conventions where participants came with real swords, knives, and axes. They were required to have a peace bond on them (tie wrap so the could not draw the weapon).

So once again, that is not a gun free zone and it is the same at any convention in Kansas or Missouri. I would bet that in about five minutes you could have several hundred armed, locked and loaded convention goers if major trouble broke out. Also lot of off duty cops, military people, national guardsmen, FBI people and private security types. Like I said, you should really go to one and look for yourself before you make another bordering on stupid post.

How about you tell me. What would be the reason someone would bring their personal firearm to a gun show?

Wait....maybe that shouldn't surprise me either!

That would be like our Governor arguing that we should be to have permits in public places , yet not in say the State House....oh wait , that is in fact how they operate. You can not take you concealed gun inside the statehouse. Yet they argue for them to be carried around schools.
