Carrying at Mall of Bluffs gun show?

<< < (2/2)

David Hineline:
It's probably an ok place not to carry, most all dealers set up will be carrying, many visitors will choose to ignore any signage, so percentage wise it's going to be pretty high that someone will solve any problem that arises for those who do not carry.

depserv:
Something just seems wrong about a gun show, of all places, not allowing those with a license to exercise our Constitutional right to bear arms to exercise that right.  It's like a seminar on free speech where there are strict codes against saying anything critical of government, or a seminar celebrating the 4th Amendment where the attendees are protected by random searches of those who enter. 

It seems to me that a no guns sign at a gun show would increase the chance of cars being broke into, since it would be obvious to criminal types that a relatively high proportion of cars parked there would have a gun in them.

 almost all gun shows are posted, its because of the insurance they have to buy, its part of the policy that no loaded guns are allowed in the show, both dealers and customers,

I've heard that before.  I suppose the policy protects the insurance company from liability in the case of a negligent discharge and there is no cost to them of having the policy, other than bad public relations.  A state law holding those who post no guns signs liable for any harm caused by compliance with their no guns rule would change that.

It seems like the NRA is always trying to sell me one kind of insurance or another.  You'd think they could insure gun shows, and probably make a good profit doing it.

I think that translates to " ;)  ;)"
