I support gun shows 100% and I've attended a few. They always have big signs indicating no loaded firearms are allowed inside the show. They have a table set-up where they collect your ammo and put a tie strap on your weapon. You can pick up your ammo when you leave.
Ironically, the last gun show that I attended, I purchased a S&W snubnosed 38 (no tie strap applied) and about 300 rounds of 38 ammo from a vendor. As I left, I watched people in line to pick-up their ammo from their carry guns. I thought about the fact that I had a 38 in my pocket and 300 rounds of ammo in a bag in my hand. What difference in the world could that rule possibly make? People can buy ammo (and guns) in the show after they enter.
Am I the only person that thinks this rule is both ironic and useless? I just don't understand what purpose it is supposed to serve.
