Gun Shows and 30.06/ Do You Give Them a Pass?

[Hoji]

Do any of you give the gun shows a pass for posting the 30.06 statute. I do not. If a buisness does not want my $$$ regardless of the reason by posting the 30.06 then I will not give them any.

If you do give the gun shows a pass on this, please explain why.

Of course I go to gun shows with 30.06 posted. It make sense to have it posted.

Do explain sir I do not disagree or agree but just want to hear your reasoning.

I've never been to a single gun show that would allow a loaded firearm on the premises. That is the written rule for every single show I've ever even heard of, actually. Thanks to concealed carry, they have to post a 30.06 to prevent a loophole in their own rules. Personally, I think it is going a little overboard to look down upon them for posting a 30.06 sign.

Of course, I failed to mention that they include the rule about loaded firearms for insurance reasons to begin with.

I understand the reasoning for not allowing loaded guns at a gun show. The chance of a accidental shooting would be very high. So many guns are being handled at a gun show, being extra safe is good. If the 3006 sign is posted with that in mind, I understand. If it is posted because someone believes a CHL holder will try to use the gun in a crime at the gun show---well, that is just plain stupid. So, yes I go to gun shows and hope that the sign is there for simple safety, not stupidity.

There are yearly reports of folks have NDs at gun shows every year. lets have them all unloaded, OK?

I just don't see the need to carry one in a gun show. You're already surrounded with so many others guns and gun enthusiasts that I feel there's no need.

Also, not carrying into a gun show allows me to carry one more new gun out with me with my hands full of ammo... :-P

one more new gun

That is the funniest thing I've seen in weeks.

For those of you who piped in with "it's the insurance", okay. But would you give a pass to another buisness that said they had to post it or their insurance carrier would drop them?

I believe that people who boycott buisnesses that post and give the gun shows a pass are hypocrites. Don't gnash your teeth and make excuses, just accept it and move on.

I do not give passes. I changed banks 3 times in the last 9 years, and make it a point to go out of my way to not spend one red cent at 30.06 posted venues.
