Why is it so important that these guns show are "Gun free Zones" and why do they require background checks on attendees including Government issued licences?
yet these same people want to arm school tecahers and allow guns to be carried in schools. |
While SHOT is a gun show, it's not one that's open to the public. It's an industry & media only event. I've attended it many times and have never had a background check done.
As far as the "gun free zone" question, you'd have to ask the SANDS Expo Center or NSSF's insurance carrier your question. It's not like all the vendors voted to not allow each other to be armed.
I can tell you that I don't personally know anybody, other than JFK, who isn't armed at SHOT.
