It's okay for the gun show affiliates to change their laws, after a gun tragedy....but....

I find it funny that the Gun Show people have made a new law not allowing people to bring their personal Guns to the Gun Shows now after a shooting at the Gun Show.

I mean of course it's a rational thing to do after a tragedy but when the president does it, he is a fascist who hates america
When Gun show affiliates do, I guess it's just good common sense

MY head is spinning

More seriously, few pro-gun people have a problem with "no armed carry" zones when the organizations take on the responsibility of providing screening for guns and weapons like airport security zones, court houses, jails, prisons, etc. Most pro-gun people also honor private property requests.

My local gun shows all have police screening entries for weapons and room the floor.

they decided after the "accidental" shootings it was best not to allow people to bring their personal guns to the gun show on Sunday. so much for the right to bare arms

that prohibit RKBA. Gun owners really have no recourse with private owners in most cases.

And I'm even ok with a governmental agency prohibiting firearms when they provide screening and security for their gun free zone.

People running the show may and often do have rules about what can be for sale or displayed
